as previously noted, i signed up for a temp job, setting up chairs at scott stadium for the rolling stones concert. it was quick and easy and we were out of there by 10:00pm last night.
the stage is a monster. there was no sound check, but they did turn on all the speakers one by one. i heard some of the most unearthly horrible sounds emerge from those speakers.
i got to watch a bunch of wildly tattoed roadies in action, and then a few of us were selected to come back this morning because we were "the best of the best." kind of like reality tv when some are voted off the island. i was one of the lucky few who got to return this morning to continue set up. more roadie action and unearlthy noises, fireworks, and fog machines. the bonus point is that those of us who returned this morning and worked our booties off get to go and see the concert tonight! we have to wear god awful yellow t-shirts and act as ushers, but who cares, i get to see trey anastasio and mick jagger for free. this concert costs like a billion dollars a ticket.
so now i'm listening to exile on main street, kindly gifted to me long ago by steve dickison. thanks steve. thanks universe.
