So it’s been awhile since I’ve updated, I know. I feel like a lot has been happening, but it’s very little to update about, really.
Okay, that’s not true, but I don’t know how to make it make sense, so I’ll just do my tried-and-true bullets for awhile.
- Mike came and went
It was awesome having Mike visiting, even for a short time. We kept busy doing things like rolling up TMNT characters like we had 20 years ago (geeky!) and drinking in bars talking about the states of our lives. We played a few videogames, hiked a few hills, saw a few waves and got stuck in a bit of traffic. Steve even came up for a few hours (because a few hours is all Steve can spend these days). It was rad. - Spent the 4th on the beach
I went down to the beach with CJ, Lena, Rachel, Jo & Candace. I managed to get zero tickets (parking, traffic or drinking on the beach), have zero car trouble and get minimal sunburn (more like sunrash where a couple small places are pink and sensitive rather than red and hurty). - I went to BootieLA
Bootie was low-key this month because of the Holiday, but it wasn’t bad. It was nice to have room to dance almost all night long. I know bodies=money in the club trade, but if they could make money with crowds this size, I’d be a happy camper. - I booked MJ’s funeral
I found out when I got to the Staples Center this morning that the director had asked for me my name (supposedly) and that the crew guys I recognized were happy enough to see me that they smiled and said hi. That’s about as happy as crew guys get, in my experience. We bought a bunch more gear, but maybe not enough, as I have to do runs across the whole floor of the Center here. We’ll see. I wanted to buy more cable, but I don’t know that I can make it happen. We’ll see.
Okay, I’m off to try to proactively solve problems before they happen. This is the fun time of the show. When celebrities are hanging over my shoulder yelling changes at me, things’ll get less fun, I bet. We’ll see. I’ll post pics from the 4th in a few days – after this whole thing blows over. But yay for more work.
