My Droid saved my ass this weekend. The band was playing a wedding. We were playing background music for dinner, dollar dance songs, etc. I had been given a list of tunes to have on my iPod, so that we could play them through the PA. Apparently I am so particularly focused on the actual list of songs, that I didn't notice that at the top were the bride and groom's names and their wedding/bridal dance song. So I show up at the gig after having left without my iPod and having to turn around to get it (fortunately I wasn't far along), to my guitarist asking "You got "Far Away" by Nickelback, right".
Oh shit.
No, I didn't. I had not even seen it, because it wasn't in the actual "list" of songs, it was at the top with their names, which I said "unimportant info - download the list". So we're like "Well, we could drive into town and try to find a place to get the CD, but they're on the way and we have no CD player."
Then I stop in my tracks. Wait one minute!
I drive down the road about a mile because there is ZERO RECEPTION whatsoever. I NEED internet access. I find a place where I can get a little reception. I bring up my Amazon mp3 Store app. Download the song for $0.99. Come back victorious, albeit pissed that I gave Nickelback one single fucking penny (it will be the first and last time I will ever spend anything on Nickelback). We plug my phone into the PA system and play the song without incident.
My Droid kicks ass.
