BLOG 2: STILL PAMONA

Well, ok... Today was our first show day. Lets say i was definately excited when i woke up to go and get this started. BUT, it was not what I had hoped to be at all!!

First, my stage has 9 bands on it, Red Jupsuit, Killswitch Engage, Chiodos, Paramore, Cute is what we aim for, The Vandals, Funeral for a friend, Circa Survive, and Coheed. Ok, so heres what I do.... I load each bands gear on stage, then when theyre finished, I load there stuff into the back of a simi and have 3 other guys help me stack the gear 12ft high. but then I only get 25ft long of the simi for band gear. I have to do this all in 30min so that I can do the same thing with the next band......and so on and so forth.....

Lets just say, i started working at 8:30am and finished around 10:30pm. I drank 36 bottles of water and didnt have to use the restroom once. from 10am to 11:30pm I didnt sit down at all. I did, however, forget all about my sunburns... that was the least of my concerns today. The show though, did go amazing. Nothing crazy happend, all the bands got on and off on time... I mean, it was a good day. Well, except for the fact my feet hurt so bad i can barely walk and we have to do it all again tomorrow.....

Im gonna be honest in saying this.... I HAVE NEVER WORKED THIS HARD A DAY IN MY LIFE!! Dad, if youre reading this.... Youre right... Im a slacker! ha ha!!! I should have helped you build all those things you asked me to help you with while I was growing up... then Maybe i would get whats goin on here and wouldnt be contemplating killing myself to get out of it!!! (joke.....but seriosuly....)

Anyway, Our bus leaves in about 3 hours to head to Ventura, so Im gonna try and get some sleep. If my hands still function tomorrow, Ill try to write again.... 2 more shows then a day off!!! (How pathetic am I?)

LATE!
