I'm Back On

I've been without internet for about 2 weeks, give or take a few days. So I've been really disconnected... the only saving grace was being able to check my email while at work. I guess I never realized how much time I spent on the computer.
I'm glad to be back.

Sometimes I Feel So Cool

When I work at the fairs or other music venues I get to be in the vicinity of some pretty iconic people. This summer I went to Santa Maria and worked the Santa Barbara County Fair as a runner (driving the bands around and running around for them if they request anything special.)
The fair was only 4 days, but I was excited for two bands that were playing. The first day Grand Funk Railroad played. It was my teenage years all over again!
The last day The Beach Boys played. I actually drove Mike Love around quite a bit, and sat and visited with Bruce Johnson backstage. It was my most fun day there.
I have been trying to upload the pictures I have with both groups but something is wrong with this blogger or the way I've saved the picture. Arrrgh!
I'll put a call in to Nick to see how I can get it posted.
I have to say, even though this was cool, the coolest group I've worked with is still ZZ Top.
Billy Gibbons just rocks!
