long day.

Saturday was a very long day for me and the rest of the Live Light guys. We started load-in at 700am and finished load-out at 130am. The gig was out at the Fashion Fair Mall. It was a self-climbing 30' x 30' truss rig with Sound and Lighting, plus Staging to go along with it. It was so HOT, HOT, HOT! We started an early load-in that morning just for that reason. So we then had some time to hang and get some lunch at BJ Pizza and Brewery. Mainly we just tried to stay off our feet and out of the sun before sound checks and what not.

There was three talents during the show. One of them was the Local American Idol contestant, Jose “Sway” Penala, that got in the top 20, I believe, of this most recent season. The other was a band named Mumbo Gumbo. The wasn't able to use any lights for Sway do to the setting sun on stage. But the bands second set was after sundown. So I was able to bump some lights to the beats for them. And the last talent was the awesome fireworks show. All in all it was a fun day. It was just a Long and Hot one.
