Sweetwater WLS event was tonight. Spent most of the day trying to get our guitarist John from New York to Ft. Wayne. This didn't happen; well, not in time at least. They canceled his flight from New York to Detroit. Instead, I got him routed to Chicago, where he then took a cab 30 miles to the nearest Avis station willing to rent a car 1-way to Ft. Wayne. While this is going on, I'm working on the contingency plan; teaching a Sweetwater employee the guitar part (awesome since I don't play guitar) and getting him into the grove of our show. Of course, setting up gear, dealing with VIP's, egos, and all the rest. John didn't make it until 9pm. (the event started at 7) Our contingency plan went off without a hitch and we had 240 people show up. Didn't leave the fort until 10:30, missed ordering dinner with the crew and ate pizza instead. I then had 3 cups of burnaise (sp?) sauce spilled all over my pants rendering them useless. It's 12:30am, I'm pissed off and all I got was one really shitty picture with my new phone which I hate.


Out of Ft. Wayne at 6:30 pm tomorrow but only after an 8 hour training day w/the staff.
Later
