Always a challenge...
We got up Friday morning after a good nights sleep and went to the grocery store to get snacks and lunches/dinners for the next few days. I have to start to write a list of things to get because we just pile things into the cart all willie nille and then end up spending a fortune on food.
Then we went to set up. First there was a huge fire truck in the way and we had to figure out how to get around it to get to where we needed to be. Once we got in we learned our space had been moved, to right behind the one stage. Will this be good or bad? Only timw will tell.
Set up was a little challenging, it always is but this time we had new weights to contend with and that took a while to get all settled. We still did well with about 2hours total for set up.
We took the chance and left to go back to the hotel for a few hours. There was another music concert (the Warped Tour) going on next door and there so parking was a nightmare and so was driving in and out.
We had lunch, cleaned ourselves up and rested a bit before heading back. It was much easier to get there this time but parking was still a nightmare. Hopefully that is much better today.
The show was kinda slow. I think it was a combination of a few things... first it was the first day so anyone who is there for all three days usually buys on the last day, second, it was hot, and third, the other concert made the parking a nightmare so I think the crowd overall was lighter than last year.
I think the booth location is a good one. I think we get more traffic and more eyes on us. It is loud at times, but today will be the true test of how it works out.
