I have written this post in the past, and it has always come out self hating, or sad sack. I come off self involved, and that is never my intent, but somehow that is always the reality. I learned the lesson again this weekend, and it just keeps coming along.
So we have a house in Minocqua. I do not go often as others in my family, and when I go I like to invite everyone I know. No one, no one ever has come. Thats not true. Diamond Dan came, and Hannifin showed up. But, that was like 5 years ago. In modern history, no one has come. Except for Nichole, but she needed to get out of town, and it was more or less her idea.
Anyway, this is what I have learned. I have invited over 800 people to come up north, more than a dozen times. Lets just call that 9000 invitations. No one has ever come. Some folks have awesome excuses, like Andy is putting up Godspell now, and honestly I would not expect him to come. That made total sense to me.
Some musicians had gigs. So, that is fine.
But really, after you send out 9000 invites, and lets take out 1000 for statistic sake, 8000 invites, and no one has come. That really becomes about you. It just simply does. No way around it.
I wish people that I felt close to would come up north, and have a good time.
