Be the Change

merch girl?

We went out to see Canto 6, Ajar, and Fighting Zero last night. FZ had to cancel due to illness, but the other two bands performed (and it was a really good show). Not the best crowd, but the bands were great.

At the show last night, I had another of my silly dreams come true - I was a merch girl for a local band. I didn't do so well... I didn't sell any merch, but I did learn a few things and next time I'll try much harder!

The place we went to last night is notorious for kicking people out right at 2am when the bar closes, and for once we weren't kicked out right away. That was kind of nice.

Owning and running my own website takes a lot of time during the week, so I like to relax on weekends by going out to shows and working even more.

This week, I also have assignments for the newspaper. I'm covering the huge St. Patrick's Day parade today. Last year's parade had around 100 units and lasted 2 hours. This year's parade has double that many units, so I'm thinking it's going to be a long day. Especially considering I only had 4 hours of sleep last night.

I wouldn't trade my life for anything, though. I love this.

Who knows, if I can catch some sleep during the day today, I just might go out to another show tonight!

For now, I'm loving my coffee, and soon I'll move onto Red Bull.
