It was in fact a rather off-dry Chardonnay.

 GJ> Very tempting!  How much were you paid for that rehearsal?

Only a hundred, but the total gig was probably $300, and there's
the aftermath of cancelling out commitments at the last minute,
which I don't generally care to do anyway and which is very bad
for one's professional health.

Thing is that once in a while, the hippies might actually want
to hop the plane: on my more august airlines, it's the businessmen
with full-fare changeable seats who make the reservations and then
change them at the last minute. But what if all the businessmen
don't change them? (which has happened).

 GJ> Note that Bali is mainly Hindu, not Muslim.

But the overlaying government is mainly Muslim, no?
