My first time working for bands

My very first time I worked at a concerts was for Free record shop. I had to work at “Classics in Rock” in Ahoy. I was one of the first there and I had to wait backstage till FRS came. We had 2 stands. One upstairs and 1 downstairs. I was put at the booth downstairs.

Because I already had experience working with money I had to control the money and sell the items, while my colleague put the cd’s back in the case.

The best part of it was that I could go for free to a concert, get paid for it and could see the whole concert. As people don’t buy much during the gig. Even if it wasn’t a big thing I would do it again.

I have been wondering around Northbrook and Chicago the last few day. I did some shopping and finally got my books I wanted for several months now. I just think shipping them to the Netherlands is just too much and I am really glad I could buy them.

I’m going to Los Angeles tomorrow and I must say I can’t wait to see LA again. It’s been too long since I was there last. I wanna see so much there, but I don’t have that much time. The next day, on the 14th, I’m going to Santa Barbara to see 30 Seconds to Mars, Street Drum Corps, Muth Math and Neon Trees. These are actually 4 bands I really like.

After Santa Barbara it’s gonna be Los Angeles again and after that. It will be Tempe, AZ. It will be 3 30STM shows in a row. But the story must end and I have to get back to Europe. Only I won’t go home straight away. I will be attending a I Am Ghost concert before I finally go home and prepare for the next 30STM European tour. Which will start in June. So, only a few days rest for the wicked.

Well, ifyou wanna know more about the upcoming shows, be sure to check back soon. I will try to update it right after each show. But only if I have internet.

St. Louis

I arrived by plane in Chicago. It took me forever to get through the passport control. They wanted to know every single detail of my live. Which was very annoying. When I finally got through it, my suitcase was already waiting for me. I got it, went to the exit and was held again, but only for a few seconds. Finally the exit. When I was out of the airport I texted my friend Elise and she came to get me.

When she came I met her friend Angela and we all went straight to St. Louis. It was a 6 hours drive. When we finally arrived there I was completely dead tired. We went up to our room which is right next to the venue. After putting our bags in the room we went out to get some food. First we hit a sushi place, but I read the menu and didn’t like anything on it. So, we decided to look for something else and we ended up at a pizza place across from the venue. We ate there, but I didn’t like it very much.

After that we went back to the hotel, because we were cold and we ended up on the roof. There was a bar there and other people. Only I hadn’t slept at all since I started going to Chicago. I couldn’t sit there very long before my eyes were started to get heavy and I almost fell asleep. So, I went back down to our room and try to get some sleep. It took me over an hour to finally fall asleep and then Elise and Angela came in to the room and I was awake again, But only for about 15 minutes.
