Not a rant. But the Badlander is going to the shop for 6-8 weeks. What should I do "in the meantime"

So was scheduled to play this evening at an outdoor event. Didn't want to take the BL because it was raining so I set up my Helix preset with a few tweaks and just brought the Mustang. Gig got cancelled which was I think the second time in 14 years something got called? First time ever where we didn't even set up. Kind of bummed as I wanted to use that Recto preset :satan
 
“What should I do in the meantime?”

Play Helmet, guitar straight in to a Metal Zone straight in to headphones. At full volume.
The Mesa will sound unbelievably good once you get it back. Negative Conditioning FTW.

Meantime is my favorite Helmet song. Saw them eons ago.

They just played Nashville with Quicksand and Clutch. I saw Helmet back in the late 90's with Quicksand as well.... all three of those bands can bring it and make a show that's one big ol riff-o-rama. Helmet was a huge influence on my band back then and I still hear them in the way I right when in a drop tuning even to this day.

I am pretty much a one and done with Helmet. Too monotone for my tastes. Clutch is a little expanded version of that. I dig their first full length A LOT and bits and pieces beyond that.

I’m seeing them this Friday night in Dallas! Woot!

I thought I read that the opening acts were kind of rotating between Helmet, Quicksand, and JD Pinkus. But not totally sure.
