I think it was one of the most hectic weekends I've had in a while. All in all it was a blast and I really got to meet some awesome people. My house is a mess, I have a terrible cold but it was all worth it. For me the weekend started out on thursday. I left early in the am to get the 15 passenger van and vaccuum it out. Then I made it to bradley by 1 to pick up Annabell. I got there a few minutes late but she hadn't been waiting long. I left with her from Bradley and drove to New Haven to drop her off at the colony inn. I ran from there to JFK airport (mind you in a 15 passenger van with no A/C) to pick up RiB. All went smoothly on the way up with little traffic. I arrived moments after the first plane was supposed to arrive. I parkd the car and ran inside to find out the plane was delayed. They were all on different flights and at different terminals. All of them were delayed. I walked around the airport for a few hours from terminal to terminal trying to make sure that none of the band members had arived yet. one by one they came in. Finally Romell (the final flight ) arrived around 9pm. After dropping them off at the hotel I drove back home. I got in around midnight to begin my packing of vending stuff. Friday I headed to New Haven to pick up Betty, my travel companion. We took of f from there and headed to laguardia to pick up Decoded Feedback and supposedly then to JFK for das ich. We made it into NY when we recieved a call from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) poetman stating the terrible news about Das Ich. Betty and I were really sad to hear about it. Not only for stefan but for J. He had worked so hard to get the festival together and I know we both felt ill with worry about what this blow to the first year of the black sun fest. We continued to laguardia were Decoded Feedback was on time. We told them immediately about the terrible news. We started the drive back in the ungodly heat, right as we got to the CT line we saw a sign that said..... Delays the next 25 miles...... I was hoping it was a joke. The van is ok when you are moving but sitting in the sun in a huge maroon tin can is not good. so about 3 hours later we made it through the 25 miles, thank god about 1/2 way through we hit a HUGE thunderstorm and it cooled down about 15 degrees. We finally made it to New Haven and I dropped them off and went to shower and change. I ran to toads in my beautiful new corset from houseofworship . I got there to find out we had already sold a good amount of product. I ran to the basement of toad's to grab a water and a sandwich since I hadn't eaten all day and I ate in the dishroom with S. Back upstairs we watched the bands and solds lotsa stuff. I really enjoyed RiB.( I hadn't really heard alot of their music before but after hanging out with them a bit and seeing them live I had to but a cd. They really are the nicest guys. As long as that thursday was for all of us they were all in really good spirits, which made the long ride home very pleasant). Finally at 2am we packed up some of our wears and headed back for some rest. Josh had to work saturday :( so I got up and ready and headed to the venue at 10am. My people slowly trickled in. we had our fitting and I let them leave for a bit. they returned shortly to start hair. I got everyone's hair done an my helpers did their makeup. All was going great. I was cool.... I wasn't going to lose it. everything was going pretty smooth...maybe too smooth.... josh showed up and helped me out with a few things.... all the models were dears. I couldn't have asked for better. around 3:30 my hostess showed up. we got her wig on and I gave her a rundown of the show. I don't know it is was nerves or what.... All of a sudden things started to get messy. It was our time to go on. I had all the girls lined up everyone looked amazing.... the first thing to go was the music. It started at the wrong time.... I was ok, I was cool no problem..... The hostess started reading.. all was good there. the problem was she didn't stop....... she read the monologue for the whole show in the first 30 seconds. Kambriel was on stage and she was reading futurstate..... I started to loose it. I managed to squelch the panic and I ran down and talked to her and got things back on track,,, we reanounced that it had been faeryn's grove and kambriel. the sideshow went on and it was ok. then the second walk started the music was wrong.......... starting to loose it.......... well you get the point.... about 1/2 way through the show the club told us we only had 10 minutes till they were closing.... another little freakout..... I was still kinda ok. not a total meltdown but the alarms were going. ANyway from the audience I was told you couldn't really tell what was going on. Most people told me you could see the hostess was a bit off but that was it..... everyone loved the hair and the clothes. still I only got 4 out of like 7 wigs out but that's ok. I am planning a shoot with some new beautiful models... I am very psyched about that. I have to say everyone that was working with me was very helpful. Shayne, Anita, Jen, Kambriel, and Tatiana were all very helpful not to mention Laura, and everyone else invovled. I was very happy to have them all there. So a huge thanks to all the lovely people who helped me with the show. I really appreciated your help and support. well anyway I left there and changed and went to go vend. That went very well again. I LOVED Decoded Feedback( They were also awesome. I talked to Yone the most. She was such a sweetheart. She told me to email her and I think I will.) they really rocked... we packed up all our stuff and loaded it in the car and headed to pass out. I felt so wiped.... slept like a ROCK! I hadn't slept well in like 2 weeks so it felt so good. Sunday we drove Iris to bradley and then hung out with peter and heather. It felt really great... It was nice to be with friends, we don't really know all that many peeps in CT and it just felt good to be with people who really know us. That night we went to the club and hung out withtiamatlady and a few others. Monday am I drove RiB back to JFK. The way there wasn't bad becuase they were chit chatting with me the whole way but when I was alone... man I almost passed out! so tired. I went home and slept, did food shoppin, and slept.........
anyway... all in all the show went well, the vending went great. and I got to hang out with cool peeps. I bought three cds and some small stuff.... so much fun but it feels good to do Nothing! I think I am going to veg a bit! |
