back home from the blacksun
Aug. 13th, 2007 10:01 pmwow. what an amazing weekend.
i met even more awesome people this year.
even when i didnt really get to socialize a lot.
yet again, as your friendly neighborhood stage manager, i am completely impressed at how great all the acts were to work with. soundchecks never seem to go on time, yet somehow the sound guys always pull through, and things get going with ease. and thankfully, all the bands and dj's were really gracious about us being behind schedule from time to time. that said, i am proud to be part of the crew that makes it look so effortless to get the music going so that everyone who comes to this festival enjoys every moment.
mostly, i'd like to thank my stage crew: jaime, who came out of nowhere as a recommendation from a friend of mine and kicked ass...mike k. who has come back since year one...matt m., my good friend who could probably have made money over the weekend but instead volunteered for me...jason d., another returner who was there when i needed him and his friend marcus to be the belle morte drum guardians...another marcus who was my gopher-monkey extraordinaire...chris the soundguy and the toad's place crew who provided almost anything i needed...brian, who ran alchemy when i was knee deep at toads...rabid angel and his minions on demand....
i think thats all of them.
at this point though, my body is mush and my brain matches, so forgive me if i missed anyone.
it was a helluva festival this year.
