More to Come

Last weekend I went out to Iowa to see Britni again. This once a month thing is killing me. I wish we were living in the same city so we could see each other any time we wanted to. Heck, I wish we were married already.

We got a fair bit of wedding planning done. The major highlight of the weekend was Helzberg's Diamonds. Yes, we finally got her ring. It's pretty cool looking. I like it. We also went ahead a bought both wedding bands. It was actually pretty fun.

We have settled on a caterer. We picked out the invitations. There are entirely too many details to a wedding. I can't wait for April 1.

Work has been interesting. I had to dismiss one of the people in the lighting department on Monday. Then the other two people in the department walked out. I have a new lighting designer starting on Monday October 2nd. I have a week of brief reprieve and then we go in to hell week. We have a national cable awards, Denver Public Library Booklovers Ball, National Mariachi Festival, and a Gubenatorial debate in the course of four days. All of them are large shows. This should prove to be interesting.

Well, it is time to get a shower and get ready for church.

Later.

Long Distance Blues

Right now I am system teching for a Blues Traveler show. I am bored out of my mind because our gear almost never has a problem. I set it up at 8:00 this morning and have been pretty much sitting around ever since. It is kind of nice though. It has allowed me to get a ton of work done and to do some "enjoyable" thinking on top of the stuff I am required to process every day. I get a big break next weekend. I am going to see Britni in Iowa. I am flying and that is a beautiful thing. I get four days off in a row. I will get some R&R and some time with my bride to be. There has been a lot going on at work lately but I don't really feel like talking about that right now. I am doing pretty well. I have not had time to do laundry in two weeks now. I need to do some real soon or I am going to have to recycle some clothes. It is loud as crap in here and I am really glad I have ear plugs.

Thats all for now.

What is it about.....

Life is just flying by. I hate that. There is something to be said for taking a deep breath and enjoying life in the moment. I feel like I am going so fast right now that I can't even see what's going on. I am working like mad dealing with this situation and putting out that fire, and preventing this mess, and taking care of that client. I get a vacation in 6 1/2 months. I am going on my honeymoon and I can't wait. The trouble is that I have no idea where we are going to go. If anyone has any ideas please share.

We need to hire more people, and we need to get those people trained, all the while doing shows to the level of excellence that we all remember they should be. I don't know what went wrong but something did and I am done with chasing my tail. I have decided that every show that I do will be perfect. Period. I don't care what it takes because in the long run there will be a whole lot less stress if the show is done right.

I have to go load out a show so I will post more later.
