Friday – Travel/Set
Travel on set day is for the birds! It’s so exhausting!!
But we were lucky enough to spend yesterday with our families and get to work a few hours late today.
Since this was the case with all crews; and we all had to take the first flight of the day, I ran into several people from my crew and other crews while connecting in Atlanta.
We all got to site and got our work done super fast… tonight is our end of the season party. It’s being held at our hotel.
It was very nice. And the food wasn’t that bad either!
Our producer made a really nice speech.
On the monitor, there was a photo montage that our Producer and TD put together - all the photos we each took during the season. It was so cool!
Then most of the guys got up made speeches that made pretty much everyone on the crew cry. This crew is such a tight family. We love each other so much and all hope to work together, forever!
After the speeches, some photos were taken. I missed out on most of them. Jill and I were busy getting drinks out of our purses under the table (it was BYOB).

Such a fabulous night!
Saturday – Game Day
Kentucky vs Tennessee
While waiting in the lobby for Steve (he usually gives me a ride on game day), I noticed the special bloody mary & martini bar already set up – AT 5:45AM!
Dear God!
Once on site, the day started out with John being locked out of the trailer.
Little B&E to start the day!
After breakfast, we took a crew photo.

That evening, we made a run to Pizza Palace – one of our favorite “DDD” places in Knoxville. Sat in the lobby and ate our dinner while watching football.
Can’t believe it’s over. Such a sad day.
We still have 3 post-season games. However, not ALL of us are doing all 3. For example, I am missing the first one because I will be in Hawaii. But I will be there for the last two.
College basketball season has started (so has NHL & NBA), so a lot of the crew took other events before we got our Bowl assignments.
We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.. all “living the dream”.
(whomever had this “dream” needs to be kicked in the head!)
A few days later, I emailed the crew… thanking them for a wonderful season. Expressing my love for my new family. Truly the best college football crew out there. From small shows – to big shows… this one is the best!
Now each of us will spend the next 8 months wondering, wishing, hoping we can spend CFB 2011 together again!
