well its been a month...
i thought that i might think about doing some form of a recap of the last well....month.
places that i went in the last month: New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania(again), Virgina, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. yeah it was a busy month. a lot of miles but a lot of fun as well. there were many places that i hadn't been to before and didn't know or think that i would see them. most of which is in Florida. such a graet state when its any season other than summer and the months just before and after it.... lol
one of the places that was pretty nice to visit was daytona beach. a great location, not to humid and totally man made and DAYTONA SPEEDWAY!!! WOOOOOT hehehe saddly i didn't get to see inside the track or anything but it was nice to drive by it. the beach was pretty cool.... spring break and all.. fake fake fake oh i mean girls.... right...
we also went to palm beach, orlando, key largo, largo and naples. so all those citys were nice and sunny and such. key largo is a humidity whore! always stupid hot there. wasn't enjoying that one. but the tropical paradise was pleasant to see. most of you are my friends on facebook so you have seen the pictures and all that stuff.
oh oho ho h oh oh i have to tell you, if you ever find yourself in Talahassee, which is a great city, you MUST locate and try a place called "1 Fresh Stir Fry" i was told that there are 3 locations in the city. i swear it was the best non-fancy food i have ever had. and its totally unique in its fashion for how the menu is formed and the food is totally personal. its epic i tell you. EPIC!
so the places before Florida weren't anything lovely for me. didn't enjoy the lack of wilderness.
on that note of nothingness, i will tell you about the end of the tour. YAY!!! we finished the tour in naples, FL in a pretty small and not to amazing venue. nice people but training isn't something that we should have to do for the people that are working at the venues. none the less sometimes it happens.. this was kinda one of them. the LD didn't even work there, the TD was the only one who knew how to do everything so he in turn had to do everything... which really stretches out the setup process a good bit.. heh.
allin all in the end of it we pulled the show off with some insane fog, great lights, and all with very little clear com chatter. once the show was over it was a tear down like normal and then EVERYTHING goes in the truck. thats all the kids stuff and luggage included... oh and the cookers and such itemz. basicly it turns out they put about 2K on my truck!! baaallldaisadasda!
this put me over weight by about 500 pounds. which to me doesn't seem like much and didn't slow me down at all. welllll THE LAW doesn't seem to like that little over weight thing. so the last weight station that i go in in Florida they call me in and lay down a fatty fine on us. about 925$ for being over weight. now im not totally sure how they got he fine amount but they said for every pound over 10K it was .50$ so yeah it was a bit of a process that they went through. now luckily for me none of this has effect on me at all. the company was fined. however now i have to answer to the company about it all..... they aren't trilled at all and tell me to skip EVERY weight station between Florida and the studio.........well jeeze! of course thats what i did... and every station that i passed my heart started to race and i was just hoping that i wouldn't get in any trouble. meanwhile i just kept trucking on and got to cali in 3 days of 10 hour driving and then 4 hours on the 4th day. i felt i made damn good time.
now the next few days were simple, hang out with the kids, return the gear and truck all that. the hardest part was saying goodbye to my sister. who i will most likely never see again. which is really sad because she is so lovely! *****side note: this lemon drop latte is sooo tasty***** i have a few pics of her on my facebook that you can see and whatever else you wish to do.
ok thats all for now. sometime later i will post something on the future of me and the company.
ok thanks for reading this wall of text that is my blog. i dont know how you do it..
