-
- It has been a few
years since I was part of a company. I can
honestly say, I'm not missing it at the moment.
;-)
-
- I just spent 6
hours? Doing nothing. Well let me take that back. For
roughly 2 minutes (in 5 second increments),
I held a wheel in place as the Delorean was
pushed to the stage - then I put my foot on the
brake.
-
- That's it. I
arrived last night for this... and we do the entrance
tomorrow morning. An entrance. Some people push the
car on stage, the president of the company gets out...
ANNNNNNNNND scene. But the truth is? I'm enjoying
being the weird guy with the Time Machine. I've always
been that guy. Even doing video work for realtors, I'm
the alien from LA - wow remember
that entry?
Almost 7 years to the day. I jump around these walks
of life and I always seem to so bizarre. Hell I
did the same thing as a loan officer in 2004-2005.
I dressed up and acted the part... I liked
dipping my foot in that world, but it was always
temporary. And 2015? Is a massive whirlwind of
experiences I will never see again. You know, like
sucking down mouthful after mouthful of gasoline to
get in the building. Lemme get the video up
here..
-
-
- Crazy. But a good
crazy. In fact, I feel more for the event planning
crew who will simply move onto the next event trying
to make their clients happy and reminding them about
"United States Laws about driving a car indoors" (a
guy from Germany was ready to send me home for good
when he heard we weren't allowed to start the car
inside the convention center). It's tough trying to
put things together for businesses who aren't in the
business of putting things together. And the gas thing
was really my fault for not having a working gas
gauge. Though that dude still owes me a beer since he
HAD THE OTHER END OF THE HOSE BENT SO IT WOULDN'T SIPHON.
I didn't swallow too much, but holy fuck that was
rough.
-
- But it's done.
Tomorrow we push out the president, then at the lunch
break I'm back home to LA. Wish I had a bit more
time to sleep in but they gave me a 7am call-time even
though I'm not needed until 9am. Seriously. Completely
unnecessary, I will do absolutely nothing - my
hotel room DOOR is 3 minutes from the convention
door... but in the scheme of things? That's what this
is all about. Enjoying this crazy chapter of my life
just long enough to where I no longer want to do it. I
figure about mid-2016 is when that will happen at
which point this will all die-down and I'll get maybe
10 gigs a year as opposed to what's looking like close
to 75 in 2015.
-
- Crazy. Here's
hoping it all goes well tomorrow.
