A weekend off?

I do not believe I remember when I have had a Saturday and Sunday off! I am going to watch football tomorrow. Last night I work a Spookfest Rave! Wow, I seen alot of different costumes, of course and the music was great! I was posted at the pass gate for the Wrestling Ring. I am not really a Holloween kind of person, so I was glad that I was posted away from crowd... So I watched from afar! :) The highlight of my evening... being a Niner fan... Out from behind the black curtain comes a hearst with the Raider emblem! Does that mean that the is the official vehicle for the taking out of Raider players that are not doing their job? LOL! Sorry to my Raider's fan friends! Oh yes, the music was awesome. Trancey.. The Crystal Method, and so much more. Now I have expereienced my first rave and know now what I allowed my daughter to attend back in her days of going to Raves.

Upcoming will be Rob Zombie at the San Jose Event Center... then up to the Fox Theater in Oakland for Puscifer and Drop Dead Murphys. (This is just my next week schedule). I am anxous to see (hear) Rob Zombie, and the Drop Dead Murphys. Yes I know, different genre of music; Is that why I love my job? My job as an event staff is to make sure that the event goers have a SAFE and good time. That means that I am a People watcher and to assist anyone that may need assistance.

Will try to post to share my experiences. There has been too many to even try to start thinking back of the events that I have done and have stories that could have been shared!

PEACE!

Its been over a YEAR!

Here I am a year later... been very busy with been an usher... and event staffing in the SF Bay area. I believe that this year I have seen (heard) sooo many different genre s of music that I could not tell you all about it. I am enjoying what I do, because the love of music, I believe is the Universal Language.

I actually have a few days off to just "WOW".... from REO, STYX. to Kenny Chesney, to Australian Pink Floyd, Ben Harper & Relentless7 ... and up to the last couple of days, there is the annual Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit. Its been an awesome year. Have been placed (posted) in different spots of various venues. Learning what goes on behind the stage is so......... Amazing! I never realized what really goes on.

Although there are 'rules' to being around such talented people, unfortunately I am unable to become a 'Fan'. I have had Bob Dylan walk right behind me after his sound check. Jason Mraz standing talking to friends and family as I sit, guard the dressing rooms, Was also on the same stair case as Steely Dan made their exit from the stage. :) I may not be able to SEE the concerts, but I sure can hear them. A lot goes on in getting the stage, venue ready for a performance. I think that I have the 'occupation' that I do not mind saying.... I am going to work!!

What really blows my mind is.... how the media say that there is such a depression going on in our society, there are people that are still attending events! To me, that is sooooooo AWESOME! Time to relax a bit... just getting off of a 6 day run... with three 12 hour days in the past eight days!

PEACE!
