Location: Baltimore, MD | So here's the irony in this...
I COULD actually walk to this theatre--it's not quite 3 miles from home--
guess what I'm doing today? Got up a 5 am....Driving the artists from the hotel to the airport....so today alone, I'll likely log in about...180 miles of driving...(they are staying in a hotel that's 2 counties away from the gig--3 counties away from the airport!)
But hey...my "twisted roadie fantasy camp" training came in handy--I knew how to handle the instruments and pack 'em in the truck to minimize movement....avoided any unnecessary conversation with the artists.... and as soon as I pulled up to the curb at BWI...stopped right in front of the paycarts and loaded a cart up lickety split with the equipment/bags.
Off to nap for a couple of hours--have two more runs this afternoon! And yes....I'm lovin' every minute of it!
