Rodeo Day Six

An uneventful day at tent city. Everything went rather well. I used the drum shield and guitar shield. It helped me get the volume down considerably. The rock band is already loud enough so anything helps.

I'm hanging out here in my hotel room with nothing to do until 2. So here are some of the pictures I took yesterday.

I'm just saying had someone asked to use my chair before just snatching it away, I wouldn't be upset about it. But ass must be kissed.



I don't know how well you can see them but dig those crazy orange shoes.



And our favorite part of the evening. Shredding some licks on our toy ax playing guitar hero.



Rodeo-ly yours,

LOU

BBQ

I find it morbid that BBQ places keep pig statues.

Rodeo Day Five

I had the Jazz band today. Jim Masters held on to this cap and gave it to me. If only I had telekinetic delivery.

So after more generator issues, and some scary conversations with the CE guys we got thing up and running.

The Jazz band really can put on a show of course the folks at Rodeo could care less about the band being there.


Upon returning back to the hotel I was greeted by Leo and his gigantic finger of doom.

We then left to find food around town. Most places were closed but we found a grocery store. Ahh late night beer and fried chicken were would I be without you.

Dreams of rodeo will forever haunt me,

Rodeo Late Evening Four

This trip has had a lot of wii bowling and a lot of sore shoulders.

Rodeo Day Four

Another fun day at Rainier Ranch. Here's a shot during the "show", notice the dancers.
After some more power issues we got the show running.

After the gig I saw this great rainbow over the flight line. Almost a perfect arch. Isn't that the most fabulous thing ever.


After the gig we also checked out the CCR tribute band they were pretty good. As you can see Troy and Niko are into it. While Chief and DP seem to be discussing something important?

Best wishes from Rodeo Land,

LOU

Rodeo Pre Day Four

Day four is a late call day. 2:30pm, naturally I slept in. Leo, Troy, Boubounis, and I went to this Salvadorian pupusarie. I'm a terrible speller. They were mighty tasty. It had started raining again so we headed back to the hotel. I made sure to stock up the fridge on the way back. Troy and I are interested in trying the Rainer moutain fresh beer. I also have my old standby but I cant imagine it'll be bad enough to prefer PBR right.

Rodeo Day Three

Rodeo's turning out to be more awesome than I imagined.
I showed up early (715am) to provide sound for the opening ceremony. However as soon as I arrived I was told no sound was needed. Why am I here?

But I helped out with the setup. and we setup the drums and covered them along with Matt. He was ready to play but it was hard to hear him through the plastic.

Later that day,

I mixed the rock band. We kept loosing power which made the gig fantastic. We made it through and tomorrow I'll actually have the power I spec'd in. What a long day but nothing a few beers won't fix.

Rodeo wishes and Audio guy dreams,

LOU

PBR

Im drunk

Rodeo Day Two

Our gear actually arrives on time as well. Go AMC go. This is the tent where everything is stored. A short push to the stage.

Itinerary changes: 2

First change: provide sound for opening ceremony band just before having to setup for the rock band. This happens tomorrow starting at 7:15am

Second Change: Unpalettizing? Pushed ahead four hours. I had four people tell me to be there at 11 instead of 3. Mission accomplished.

Rodeo love just keeps coming

Hugs and Kisses,
LOU

Rodeo Day One

I'm am sick of these motha fuckin' bandsmen on this motha fuckin' plane.

We actually left on time. The plane ride was a bit scary as there was more than one instance of weightlessness when the plane would feel like it was falling.

After de-planing we were hearded into the inprocessing and received our badges.



We had just been discussing the concept of "blue" and Ryan decline to be photographed.

More rodeo fun to follow.

Yours,
LOU
