This is know. I had to see you at some point. I was on the barrier half the set and second row the other half in front of Adrian. I would have been easy to spot wearing a red cincy reds hat

You got early entry. My buddy and I saw you go in and when we got in we were between Bruce and Janick. It was my buddy's last show. He got killed crossing the street a week later.

mrAPE

I remember all that.

I figured I was easy to spot / remember because I don't believe anyone else in chicago was wearing a reds hat. I wore it all weekend down town and everything got a lot of pissed off looks lol

Alec29

I always do too because I'm from Atlanta and support those teams for the most part. I live near the University of Illinois and constantly wear my Georgia Tech shit around 'em. I love messin wit em.

mrAPE

Why are you on here so late sure I usually only see you in the afternoon

Alec29

I got a new laptop. Trying to decide if I like it or not. I'm at home now.

mrAPE

Interesting. Internet porn and online games is the best way to test a new computer lol

Alec29

Very interesting......

mrAPE

You worked as a roadie correct? How did you get into that job

Alec29

By accident. I was bouncing at a strip club and met these guys who told me about the union and I went and did the application process and went to work the next day on a TV commercial. Did a metric fuckton of trade shows and conventions. Worked on the set of In The Heat of the Night for a couple of seasons and then got into the touring thing.

mrAPE

So it is a long proccess to get to work on tours?

Alec29

It can be. If you want to tour learn all the rigging and lighting you can. Any job where you have to leave the ground pays well and is always in demand. Learn all the repairs and tunings for as many instruments as you can. You make yourself in the union. Know what I mean?

mrAPE

Sounds like a lot of work and skills I don't have lol.

Alec29

It ain't that bad. Watch the roadies above your head during the next show while they change stage setups. You may be surprised to see what all is going on.

mrAPE

I've always wanted to join these tours somehow seems like a good fit for me as far as a job I know I'll be happy doing

Alec29

Approach it from the security side then. Start bouncing somewhere. Don't need no skills to choke out a drunk. LMAO

mrAPE

I like doing that! I've got the size and the temper for it to!
