Dream job, but!!

Administrator
A few months ago I met a guy at the Honda dealer here. He was looking for CB 750 parts, so I gave him my number. He called the other day, and we got talking. Turns out he is in the locale "Carpenters and Joiners" union. I told him that I had been wanting a part time job, and he hooked me up with the union to be a (wait for it..............) STAGE HAND for events in Kansas City. They called me tonight, and my first gig is tomorrow setting up for a BIG Name Band doing a concert this weekend. Unfortunately even though it is a big name band, and a lot of people seem to like them, I DON'T. Oh well maybe one of my faves will come soon.

I have a friend that started out that way and now he is an event coordinator or something like that. It seems as though his party never ends. Have fun!

It's not Biber, but almost as lame. I'll give you a hint on the name of the band it's a color followed by a number.
Went in this morning, and helped set up. Worked maybe 2 hours, stood around for another 2, but get paid for 6. Have to go back tonight to take it apart. I was told it only take 2-3 hours to take it all apart, but will get paid for at least 4 hours, and since it will go past midnight it will be time, and a half.

No I couldn't tell from that pic, I had to google concerts in Kansas city.

Plus its the only band named that was a colour followed by a number.

Yep. Maroon 5. That's a crapy cell phone picture I took of Adam from about 20 feet away.
