[Dhsbb-jazz] Help solve power problem for band venue in San Diego

[dhsbb-jazz at mailman.dcn.org]

Attention all band families.
The Spring Tour to San Diego for the bands is shaping up nicely.  One  
of our venues is a picturesque spot adjacent to Seaport Village on  
the San Diego Bay at Embarcadero Marina Park.  The Combined Bands  
will perform there for an hour on Saturday May 20.  This venue has no  
power so we must supply our own for the electric bass and microphone  
system.  We cannot transport a gas generator with gas on our buses so  
we must obtain one locally.  I have not been able to find an event  
rental vendor with a quiet "Honda" type 2000+ watt gas powered  
generator in the San Diego area.  But I did find a Home Depot that  
carries one.  We must pick it up, fill it with gas, and return it  
within 4 hours for the economical rate of $28.  (Party vendors wanted  
to charge $150 to deliver and pick up same day for the noisy one).   
So I am asking if any of you are either planning to drive yourselves  
to San Diego and attend the Saturday venues so that you could be  
assigned the task of picking up the 30 lb small generator, filling it  
with gas, and returning it after the performance.  OR if any of you  
have relatives in the San Diego area who are such good sports to take  
on this task for the Band.  If you can help solve this dilemma,  
please contact Esther Rose at drciston at dcn.davis.ca.us or telephone  
(530)400-9187.  Thanks so much.
