False Advertising

Don't you just hate it
when you dig a spectacular hole
only to realize that you can't get out?
What's worse is when you
advertise the event, before having practiced,
and now the whole town is here simply by word of mouth.

Over confidence and lack of practice, I believe leads to this type of situation... haha. Thanks for your visit Andrea.
