Sakon Museum Grand opening Awash




Awash: covered with water, flooded




  It became quite obvious by late afternoon that a storm was headed toward the city.

Thunder and lightening preceded the tropical storm shortly after 5 pm.

Messages on facebook said the show will begin as soon as the rain stops.



In retrospect I should have listened to my instincts which told me not to go.
Event planners had no rain contingency plan.
When I arrived at 7:25 pm, sound and light crew were disassembling their equipment 


Tables were drenched

The celebration had been moved to a covered area, big enough to hold ten tables
and allow for a cramped performance area

Performers outnumbered the audience

Media and media wanna bees outnumbered the audience


Tables were reserved for government officials and their entourage 

A very big disappointment, with the exception of seeing some local friends and acquaintances. I barley stayed half an hour.  I opted for a Pit Stop.
