| | I'm going to deviate from the norm here (well lately anyway there hasn't been much about my life on here as I'm boring) and talk about my weekend. A few of you know that I have some friends who happen to have a band ( Lightswitch for anyone who doesn't know them) and they invited me to be a roadie for their trip to play in Schuamburg, Illinois (suburb of Chicago) for a music festival. Here's some stuff that happened in more or less chronological order:
1. Sleeping on someone on the way. We knew we wouldnt get much sleep before morning so we had to try to sleep in the van. I pretty much put a pillow on someone and went to sleep for a couple hours haha.
2. Showing up at the wrong hotel, and wondering why we couldn't get in.
3. Beach balls. We inflated soo many beach balls. It was most definately worth it when they were all bouncing around in the crowd though!
4. Me running away from Security. None of us had our "artist" passes yet because we were in a hurry to get set up and we didnt realize we needed to have special passes already. What happened was before the general public was allowed in, I was in an area where the bands and other vip's eat lunch and stuff and I asked a security guard if i would be allowed up there during the show to take pictures. he said not without a pass, and that he had to remove me from the building as i had no pass and it was before the general public was allowed in. I tried to reason with him a little, it didnt work and I was being escourted out of the building. He got distracted though by some other people, I went for the stairs. He was fat so there was no way he could have caught me. Anyway long story short me and the other roadie went and got the passes we and the band needed to go where we needed to go. It was good he didnt get me out of the building, because otherwise it would have been a long walk to the artists sign in area from where i would have gotten kicked out of the building.
5. Getting to hang out with people the general public usually doesnt . One of the guys from the Family Force 5 crew is actually pretty cool :) So i'm guessing that the others might be too.
6. Barlow Girl and Skillet. Enough said. Though the lead singer of Skillet did claim to be wearing Barlow Girl's underwear...
Other than that it was a pretty awesome time with friends, even though none of us had much time for eating, showering, or sleeping. One can do that any time right  Thanks again!
