LOL HAHAHAHA.... First of all you write quite funny and second of all your story IS funny!

I can almost make looking foolish look good. Almost.

I think 'Almost' you shall ditch. It looks GOOD hahaha

But wow, now I start to understand you dont like to bring all the gear back and fort to where you are or travelling to. A shame though, since the people around you would be able to experience some cool music. But you know what? You've some truly great stories to tell because of all this thinking of yours :) BTW, was GOA not a place to be for tourists? I have no clue about India, never been to that country, and its mighty big. GOA is probably not for India tourist, more for Western ones anyway.

Keep the stories coming: Makes HIVE a better place for sure! Hope some of the whales will find this post and give you a big one! I'll send a Tweet with your post in it, nobody will read, but do it anyway :)

Photos: what HIVE blog service you use? PeakD? In PeakD you can go to 'advanced' while being in the editing screen (at the bottom) and select the photo you want as a thumbnail, this can be any photo in your post. In Hive.Blog the first photo is selected as the thumbnail photo. I always use PeakD to post a new post, so I have control over the thumbnail without the need to have the source photo as the first one. Ones the post is published, the photo selected for thumbnail, is also the thumbnail for all other HIVE blog interface, at least as far as I know.
