At the last minute, I was asked to load out the Kelly Clarkson concert last night. As usual, I took a walk through the crowd before clocking in. It was strange to see so many little kids at a concert. I swear the average age of the crowd must have been 15 ( Read more... )

So, I'm hangin' out on the lawn at Ozzfest yesterday, watching Disturbed. There's a very lovely married couple snuggling in front of me. The wife is wearing a bikini, and she is curled up in her husband's lap with her head on his shoulder. Up walks one of the guys from Black Label Society. I'm sorry I don't know his name, I just call him " ( Read more... )

Oh my, Ozzfest was a long day yesterday, but really fun. I got there at 3am to set up the "B" stage. We worked non-stop until 8 to get everything ready, then ate a quick (but yummy) breakfast. I got to sit next to the singer from Disturbed, but I didn't realize it until later when I saw him on stage. I remember thinking "what cool lower lip ( Read more... )

Yes, the workshops and rituals were mostly Thelemic, but it goes beyond that. It was refreshing to see people from varied Thelemic traditions peacefully coexisting without ( Read more... )

I'm going to get to work on stage crew for some amazing concerts at Verizon Wireless this summer: NIN, Bauhaus, Def Leppard & Journey, and Damian Marley. I don't care that much for Buffett & Dave Matthews, but they are fun shows to work because the crowds are so cool ( Read more... )

Last weekend was opening weekend. Everything got done, but most nights (mornings) for the past 3 weeks, I only got 3-4 hours sleep. My metabolism got so messed up that my beard quit growing! I don't recommend that much sleep deprivation. I can't begin to tell you how nice it is to get a decent night's sleep again ( Read more... )
