TCLAPs to the men who helped unload and set up equipment Saturday. In typical musician fashion, the bands arrived 45 minutes late and disappeared upon arrival, leaving 7 #HIM to unload two trailers of gear then, unbeknownst to us, set up audio and visual equipment. Our 1-2 hour commitment turned in to 4 hours. Big shout out to Catfish and Schrute who stayed a full 4+ hours. On that note, Chris at WRHI owes us a post in Rock Hill for the extra effort and free labor we provided.

• Peach looked like he belonged with the band (hat, long hair, goatee – no doubt lead vocals).
• Turbine crushed the coffee run and looked the part of band manager.
• Corruption looked at home with a wrench in his hand putting together light stands and video boards and added bonus, he looked like he could shred a tom and bass drum or a mean electric guitar.
• Burgundy, never a hair out of place, I kid you not took 5 minutes to interview the production company lead about where they travel, where they live, and how many weeks they are on the road. I guess you can take the anchor out of the newsroom, but you cannot take the newsroom out of the anchor.
• Schrute was in heaven putting together the video board. He would be the tech guy/soundboard operator at the show.
• Catfish was the MAN Saturday! This guy was directing the paid production crew how to do their job. It was hysterical to watch.
• YHC was just there for comic relief and to pick things up and put things down. I may or may not have said things that deserved bomb jacks after learning that the scope of our morning assistance had grown to doing everything but playing the instruments at the concert.

I’m proud of you guys for stepping up. You worked behind the scenes and no one will know the effort you put into this. Excellent work. Also, its times like these when the alphas step up. Before the production company could direct us to do anything, we were already doing it ourselves. And Catfish, the way you took control leads me to believe you have a roadie career if you want it.

Great work men. It was a pleasure to work alongside you.
