My Weekend With the Mouse, The Band Perry and a Man Named Chris.

My plans were to write one post about Disney the weekend afterwards. I took a bunch of pics all with this blog in mind. But I'll be honest, I was emotionally exhausted and really didn't have the heart to relive it in my blog. I just pushed it far out of mind. But now I am back and ready to talk a little bit about it. But just a little.

Sadly my problems weren't all were Disney and their higher ups like it usually is. The production crew actually ended up being great. By the time we got to the show in Pikeville they all but left me alone and I never heard a peep from any of them. My problems came from "other" areas, and I am sure I either argued or had a serious conversation with every department in the building that day.

The show itself was good and I do recommend seeing if you have children or just a fan. My wounds have healed enough to share some pics from that weekend.

You never know what you will end up doing for a show. Here the guys are changing a lot of batteries.


We had some down time again for the show in Corbin. So we grabbed some and lunch and spent our usual time hanging out at Starbucks.

Jamie, Ashley and Shane during lunch.

Then it was showtime.



I have zero pictures from the shows in Pikeville and was just glad to get the day over with.

A couple weekends after this we worked with The Band Perry. I was pretty nervous about this show because we had not done a show this large at this arena in a long time. So I had to bring in crew there that hadn't worked a lot or at all. I did have a lot of the hiccups ;ike I expected. Thankfully nothing large and nothing that I couldn't take care of. We did end the night on a up note tho. The stage manager came to tell me that it was one of the smoothest load outs he had done in long time. So I guess I must of have got the kicks worked out by the end of the night.

This is the arena security-patrol dude, ironically his name is Perry.


The stage right before we started the night.

The bands intro surprised me a little. I was standing right there expecting them to show up and it was just like they  appeared out of no where out of the smoke. Good job to the light and smoke guys. Yes Brennen I know you were the one pushing the smoke button.

Speaking of Brennen he didnt fail to keep me entertained the trip home.

I have spent this week preparing for my upcoming cruise.....HOLLER! Tony and I also took the time to acutally attend a show instead of working one. The show you ask? Well that would have been the one and only Chris Stapleton. If you unfamiliar with Chris do yourself a HUGE,HUGE favor and look him up. Hands down the best male singer I have ever heard.


I promise not to wait so long to write about stuff because I realize that at my advanced age of 42 I do tend to forget details. I am always telling myself, "remember that, it will be good for the blog." But then I forget it.

I may be back this week before I leave for the sunny beaches of the Caribbean and let you in on some of my trip planning.  But if not I will see everyone when I get back with all my stories of how I thawed out from all this snow!
