Ocean Beach Park 2000 - Take One
I took these pictures at the Sept. 2nd Ocean Beach Park 2000 gig. Check 'em out!
 As I pulled into the parking lot at precisely 6:58 PM I immediately knew something was amiss |
 As I cautiously approached the stage area I could hear no music |
 Closer inspection revealed an empty stage |
 The high-quality arena seating was suspiciously void of fans |
 The beach, where the crowd overflow would normally be, was filled only with the sound of crashing waves |
 The view from above and behind the stage gave me brief hope - Was that a set list taped to the stage?! |
 Alas, it was a set list but, unless the band was preparing to debut an entire set's worth of new songs, it appears to have been left behind by the previous night's entertainment (the Dick Campo Big Band) |
 The bad news spread quickly as the gathered crowd informed the other fan to show up that the gig was rained out |
 I took one last look at the empty stage before leaving, imagining what might have been |
 As I left the park, I could just make out through the fog the shape of a solitary figure wandering aimlessly near the stage |
