College Football Awards Show
Tuesday – Travel/Set Day
Columbus > Charlotte > Orlando
Up at 2:30a; yah! Had to leave at 4a. Good times.
Once in Charlotte, I wandered to my gate to Orlando, where I met up with a bunch of my friends/co-workers from the Charlotte office.
This worked out well because then I had a ride once in Orlando and didn’t need to take a cab.
Got checked into the hotel and then walked over to site.
As I arrived, I walking and talking to the Director and before I knew it, I was on the ground! Totally tripped over a sandbag that was holding down a barrier fence. Fell REALLY hard and had my 30lb backpack on… the director helped me up and I quickly knew I was hurt.
Wobbled into the truck where I pulled up my pant leg and found a bloody knee with all my skin stuck to the inside of my pants.
My boy Mike got out the first aid kit and fixed me up good. We had to do it quickly because of management discovered it, there was gonna be endless paperwork to fill out.
Before long, my graphics counterpart arrived – Pete. We headed for a walk on the boardwalk and caught up on gossip and such over ice cream (for lunch).
Afterwards, we got our machines set up.
In the evening, I met up with my friend Mark for dinner.
Wednesday – Rehearsal Day
Not much to report – just a long day of building graphics and rehearsing
My knee is not doing well. It’s hard to keep it bandaged – it needs air too. But as soon as scabs start to form, I have to move my knee and they rip open again.
Thursday – Show Day
Nice walk in the morning and breakfast with friends.
This show really stresses me out. It’s very important to the company; therefore I put a lot of pressure on myself to be flawless.
Thankfully, I was able to ‘nail it’ again this year. Whew!
Some photos from the past few days.
