so this past friday was a multi show day here in the sacramento valley. we had a show at railey field and a show at the sleeptrain amphitheater in marysville..
at the railey field show was Lynard Skynard headlining.. at the sleeptrain – Slipknot now mind you at railey field the show was to be an evening event whereas the sleeptrain event was an all day affair starting at 1:00pm and as the show day approached. the powers that be in the slipknot camp decided (quite wisely i might add) to postpone the show for a couple of days.. till monday night july 14 2008. but the railey field event goes on as planned….
now you might ask why would one event cancel and the other continue… well the answer to that question escapes me because due to the fires surrounding the sacramento valley. both venues were engulfed in smoke so dense that when looking off to the distance it appeared you were looking in to an oncoming fog bank. now this coming week thank goodness it appears that the smoke is clearing and we will without a hitch be able to welcome Slipknot and the rest of Rockstar Mayhem to the amphitheater… and as you might guess it will be nice to be able to work this event and not suffer from Smoke inhilation.. how those that worked the railey field show survived, i have no idea… they are to this day probably still hacking they’re lungs out….. or maybe they are just used to inhaling smoke on a grand scale, (if you get my drift) anyway, after the show this monday i will be back to share stories of the evenings crazyness and headbanging lunacy…..
till then stay cool, rock hard and live safe…..
