shows have been smooth, its like driving now. I barely remember what each day was like unless it rained or something disastrous happened. yesterday during the last band my attention was entirely diverted to a storm behind my monitor world. there were cloud to cloud lightning strikes and a ton of rain below. It looked pretty far off and the wind seemed to be in my favor so I wasnt concerned. then, 10 min into loadout the wind just takes off and it starts sprinkling. I yell to the local crew to get everything electronic upstage and just leave all the cables. sure enough about halfway through moving stuff it starts pouring, luckily i got the console covered in time. after a few min of rain it turns to hail, this is, of course, after an 80+ degree day. the hail slams everything as we scramble to get everything packed. in the end everything looked pretty dry except the sidefills and subs, which were the most exposed when the rain hit.

Architects play their hometown and Adams high hat craps out on him, forcing a fast changeout right in the middle of their set.

For some reason people in line each morning feel the need to run as soon as the gates open. I dont know why or where to.

Apparently someone had the genius idea to put an open coffee container in the Architects cooler and it went everywhere. The Architects are one of the tough bands doing the whole tour in a van and trailer, no bus, so thats extra bad.

My wide angle view of the stage, mostly artists have to lean around the side fill to signal me.
