Interesting: carry cards in case the tablet fails. Back in the old
days, we knew a caller was a caller when she forgot her cards and still
called a great dance.
I remember the first time I forgot my cards, and did fine with the
dances I knew by heart. Even in my head, I had more than enough to
work. There are, of course, no hurries to get to that place, and taking
precautions is good, but when it happens, it does build a sense of
confidence.
After hearing of a friend forgetting to put her dance cards in the car,
only to watch them scatter in the mirror on the freeway, as they flew
off the top of her car, I went and photocopied all my cards.
Now I have notes in my falling-apart books, and I've photoed every
comment and dance I've written in the book, so if I loose the book, I
can reconstruct it.
And, I can still call a dance with no written cues at all...

Most certainly carry cards as well. But there are now several dances for
which I do not have physical cards.

Have any of you who use tablets for calling ever had problems with them in the
middle of a gig? Do you carry cards as back-ups?
My biggest hesitation about using one is the horrible scenario of being at the
gig and having the widget freeze up or go blank.
