Dear Tony,
Just to let you know, last Friday was not exactly a great tip night. Not only were there not ANY forthcoming, but the tip bucket was off to the side of the stage and I couldn't remember to move it front and center. The crowd was visibly and audibly appreciative of my efforts though. The vineyard is a very nice venue for both the crowds and the ambience. But finally, at the end of the evening, someone anxiously wanted to find the tip jar and asked me where it was. I knew, even though as I said I still had not put it in its proper place, so I told him. He place his gratuity in the proper receptacle and expressed his enjoyment at the performance. I, superior intellect that I am, thought to myself, 'don't forget to retrieve that before you leave.'
So to the point, in case you're wondering about that by now, I collected my fee from the staff, packed all my gear car and drove away. About two miles up the road, I realized that I did, indeed, forget to retrieve the tip before I left. I thought to myself, no point in turning around at 9:30PM when I have a 40 minute ride ahead of me and the amount, while greatly appreciated, was probably minimal. I am writing to you to say, please help yourself to the tip, if it is still in the bucket. But, I did want to mention, if it's perchance a hundred dollars or some larger amount, I hope you will consider splitting it with me.
What do you think?
