Home from Faerie Festival. Very tired. Did remember to leave before I completely ran out of spoons, instead of hanging out until the very end, but even so, I'm pretty wiped. Managed to get home and off the highway before I got too tired to drive. Now putting off dealing with trash and litter box and hoping I get up in time to deal with those before morning trash collection.

As far as I can tell, there is no good way to carry a double bass. (I would be very happy to be proved wrong about this -- Clues, anyone?) Carrying it on my head is only good for middling distances, and in a crowd there's the risk of bonking people on the head (bonked one person that was my fault, turning around; two other people bumped their heads on it by walking up behind me and not looking up, as far as I cold tell).

I think I have a new second-favourite cellist.

Hm. The cellists at the symphony carry their own instruments in, but I think the double basses live at the hall. When I see the stagehands moving them, it's on a little dolly cart with wheels.

Double basses aren't meant to be carried.

Maybe you could modify one of those two-wheeled grocery carts?
