Torrents and torrents of rain. That is, after my stage was concluded and entirely packed away. Thunder, lightning, the whole bit. Came on really fast to, barely any time to prepare. Crowd didn’t want to quit and those who stayed were rewarded with the remainder of the acts done acousticaly. Acousticaly through four self powered qsc speakers that is.

Tommorow is the last six flags show, and, most likely, a repeat performance. So far the weather report says 90% chance. I’m reading that as, 90% of your day will be rain.

A bit of what I have to look forward to.

Six Flags

Somehow not falling back into blog updating.

Had some shows in six flags.

So far they’ve outlawed swearing, smoking, and shirtlessness, soon laughing, loud noises, and any physical expression of pleasure.

94 deg and massive humidity. Definitey needed that fan.

At another six flags show we got the Disney stage.

Days off in Vegas were spent quite productively.

So once again I’m in a familar world.

Mainstage on the first day of preproduction.

They’re carrying video walls and swore an assortment of lights.

I am on a very familiar stage. Basicly exactly the same one as warped.

And what’s this? A pallet of oranges?

Are they for us? In fact they are! We are doing 5 min changeovers so the tour bought guitar amps, cabs, and drums. So there’s all the house gear on stage and the bands just walk up with guitars and go… It’s never quite that easy though.

And oops, looks like someone forgot to hang up the banner.

Some quick improvising solved it.

Mainstage crowd looks just a little excited.

Got to play indoors one day.

Told all the aritsts not to get used to it though.

And finaly, for some local color, here’s a view of Flordia.

Those of you who covet my job look closely at the timestamp.

I’m going to see sunrise from the PCH today.

Time to head out into the great beyond.

Surprise!

Extravaganza!

I was able to make it out from AZ in time to do monitors for extravaganza. While the day went rough it was one of the best lineups I’ve seen there in years.

Some old comforts

And some old sights

And with some familiar sights

I was home. Or at least in the state home used to be. Watching everyone drive off to their homes and apartments made me feel a twinge of regret for my lack of such a life to return to, but the feeling will be breif. Three days breif to be specific since the next adventure is allready calling.

And before I knew it, it was over.

It was an amazing run and I am incredibly greatful to have gotten the chance to work, sleep, eat, and live with this cast of characters.

I hope I will see you all again soon.

Spent more time in New Orleans than I will spend anywhere for the next four months and still wishing I had more time here. We stayed in a old orphanage called St Vincents Guest House. Old three story brick building that’s very dark at night. Amazing place to stay.

The city was fun too.

Allways exciting when a drugstore is located since rocking requires a considerable amount of hair products.
