It's 12:30 in the morning, is your truck loaded??

You know, I love my job, I really do. It's all I know really, but I feel that I am pretty freakin good at it, and I hope others do as well. But tonight is one of those nights that makes it hard to be a small business owner!

I have an event that loads in down in San Diego tomorrow morning (Will post pictures when I get down there). It is for my friends over at TLC. We are providing the video and sound for an outdoor party for the owners and managers of Panda Express! Kind of crazy... But, it is outdoors, on the water, which means, extra work! I have a couple of B-10 LED trailers comming down for video, I am using the new VRX line array from JBL provided by my friend Scott over at Broadcast Support, and I even get to play with wireless cameras! All in all, it will be a fun gig, but tonight, tonight I had to load the truck :(

One of the joys of being a small business owner is that there are times when everybody else is busy and you can't afford to hire somebody, so you get the job of picking up all the subrentals, loading all the gear, making sure there is plenty of drinks and snacks, etc. all by your self! And today, that was me. I have a 16 foot bobtail as well as my 10 foot trailer all packed full, ready to drive, and except for about 30 minutes of help from my buddy Matt, I did it all.

Really the hardest part is that I am prepping for BizBash on Thursday as well. Not only do I get to keep everything in order for San Diego but on Thursday, I Andrew Poley, and Don't Wonder Productions, am exhibiting in my first tradeshow! Scares the hell out of me to be honest. I think that is the hardest part of today, I am leaving for two days and when I return, I load it in, and I do not feel ready at all!!!!! This is a big step for me, I am excited and scared and anxious all at the same time. We are showing off Don't Wonder Post as well, so that is exciting (More to come on that later as well), just a crazy experience! Needless to say, it will be a very long week!

Well, being that it is now a quarter to 1 and I have to be on the road by 6 AM, I guess I should get some sleep. I will post pictures soon from both events!
