Thursday: River Cellars Set Up AND Nampa Nights . . .

I'm writing all of these catch-up posts in retrospect several weeks later so the pain associated with them has faded a bit. I do most of my worrying leading UP to an event, I carry a little bit of stress the day OF an event, depending on the type of show it is, and then AFTER an event I'm left with a few residual mental scars. . . I admit I dreaded all of July from the beginning. The events seemed to be piled on top of one another and several of them were WAY outside my comfort zone. Events the size of Nampa Nights or smaller are inside my comfort zone. Anything bigger tends to wake me up in the middle of the night weeks before the event fretting about what MIGHT happen. . .

One of the events that had me a little worried was a concert at W00d River Cellars . . .



Part of the problem for me was the the lack of information. The show wasn't even confirmed for us until about a week and a half before the show and then we still had to make sure we had everything the riders required. Oh, AND we were double-booked which means I would actually have to talk to these bands at some point on the day of the event. . .

The concert was on Friday night but we set up as much as we could on Thursday morning before heading over to Nampa Nights. I was able to forget my worries there for awhile with Lori's good company . . .

Hailey is good company, too, so it was a double treat. . .

The band was Straight Away so there were no surprises at all. . .

I like it when there are no surprises. . .

Ahhhh, my comfort zone. . .

Too bad I'm never allowed to stay comfortable. . .
