Every now and then I have the urge to play out, but then I remember
the last time I did and the urge goes away.  On the other hand, I have
so much gear that I've collected for the job that it seems like a
waste of a perfectly good PA to not play out.  I think it would be
different if I had someone to collaborate with.  (And to share setup
and tear down duties!)  ;-)
