1 Music.2 I'm tellin' ya.
3 I worked another awesome concert last night. It just brought back some great memories of Ponch, Shawna, and all those fun concerts and shows.
4 I got there just before curtain and proceeded to climb up to the booth.
5 You know what that is. It's the tech booth. They have a VERY
familiar ETC lighting system at the Chill-on-the-Hill. Feels just like home.6 I loved every second of it. Music rocks.
7 Our booth has a dimmer in it so you can turn the lights way down and close your eyes during a concert. Nobody even goes in to ask dumb questions. It's just you and the booth. I loved it.8 One tune they did was all about thinking about your troubles and concerns, and moving with the pain and all, and eventually taking it wherever it goes.
9 I just sat there thinking about everything.
10 You know.
11 Just everything.
12 It worked. Because everything means personal stuff, and everyone has very real, very personal stuff.
13 Just everything.
14 The music saddened me, and later danced with my soul. It lifted me and then set me down gently.
15 It sounds a lot more boring than it was, because I just had a moment to think about all the real stuff going on inside, outside, and all the rest.
16 Well, I felt really amazing after having listened. Because I guess you can't lie with music. You know how you put on an antic face to meet the faces that you meet sometimes? Or how you keep things that REALLY bother you sort of cooped up because most others wouldn't get it, or care?
17 That's how it was.
18 I became my own best friend.
19 Part of it had to do with this cool philosophy that Thuy Ann told me about the other night. The concept was pretty simple: we're all crazy, and one major thing is what causes our craziness.
20 Sort of like the Cheshire Cat saying "We're all mad."
21 Something like that.
22 Anyway, nothing funny to report, nor even interesting to say today really.
23 Just stuff.
24 Yep.
25 Just stuff.
26 Peace.
