angelak | Last Concert

So, I filmed the last Concert on the Green last night.
This Concert wasn't originally scheduled. It was for relief efforts in New Orleans, to help raise funds. A bunch of bands got together and donated time, merchandise and money, and put on one last show for the summer.

It was odd because due to the fact they were figuring more folks would be coming [more did, I think-], I didn't have my picnic table. This wasn't so bad, because I was closer to the stage. Like, right IN FRONT of the stage. Although this had its benefits, I also happened to be right next to the large speakers. This posed issues listening to Tim's directions - though I managed, until he got overly excited and raised his voice [he likes to yell when he gets freaked out about directing, it's grand.]

Anyhow. This concert started earlier and let out later. Tim had planned on buying us all pizza and beer for how well the crew ran this year. Apparently last year he had quite the stressful time getting his people together. This year, we were all pretty cohesive.

So, though I was pretty tired from my busy weekend and a 13+ hour day, we went out. [I was starved.]
Sleep was a good thing when the time came.

And here I am, to begin another day of work.
Though, this is my last day in for the week, and I am leaving early to check out an Ice Skating open house in Everett Events Center. And the rest of my week? Vacation.

It will be nice to spend some time on the DL and recoup after too much liquor and fun.
Oh - Yeah.
My laptop gets shipped out today, the seller said.
OH - one last thing. The concert, in 3 1/2 hours, raised $20,000.
I was duely impressed. To put that into perspective: Bumbershoot in three days raised only a little more than that.
