A chance to catch my breath

Well, my pro audio business is in full swing now. This is a busy season for it. Lots of weddings, festivals and the like. We had a gig at the Old Settlers festival in Arcadia, KS this past weekend. We set up on a ball field after a night of rain. It was a muddy mess. We ran lights, sound gear and set up my stage. It is a 30 ft trailer that works perfect for this use. All of the sound gear fit along with the band. I was there for several hours each day. I made the decision to break down the gear and trailer it in my enclosed trailer for the night due to the possibility of rain on Friday night. Boy was I glad I did....It was soaking wet everywhere! We broke down the rest of the gear the next morning and hauled it across town to the community center for the next evenings concert. Molly, my 8 year old decided to come. There was a hard rock band playing that night. It was SO loud you cannot imagine. I had to control the vocal levels only. The band had their amps cranked and I nearly died... Molly had my ear plugs, so I had to just suffer through. It all went well and we made some $$$. Also we booked another gig in November. Should be cold.... Anyway, things are good except that my computer is dead at home and I have no internet access. I can only use my laptop at work. I will try to post as I can to keep folks informed. Later - DJ
