Hey-Lo
Today I assisted the Wedding Festival Crew with the assembly of the Anderson Wedding Festival. I gotta tell you...after the last show I really helped with, which was Asheville last week, I was hurting. I pulled a muscle in my lower back and it has not stopped throbbing since. But, this week I hit the gym a few days to work it out. It is still throbbing, but is not as bad.
I also adjusted my diet to add more salads and less crud. Today, I actually felt better after moving a bazillion pipes, plates, and misc crates, road cases, lighting rigs, etc... I have to wonder when I am working these shows if they are a wedding show, or a rock and roll tour because of the sheer volume of equipment, crew, and detail that goes into each show.
When I left, I was not that sore as I had been. I am looking forward to keeping these changes so I can keep up with this crew.
Marc and Colleen have been doing these shows for close to 18 years now and you can really see the experience working for them and the crew.
Today's crew was Virgil, Garyn, Coleman, Lana, Ben, Londan, Deangelo, Elliott, Logan, Sarah (Da Machine), and of course Kennedy. It is amazing how well these guys all work together. They know what to do...when to do it, and how to do it. There is no doubt in my mind that experience really matters when producing any wedding expo.
Another thing I was trying to figure out in my head today was why I had not yet done an Anderson Wedding Festival. We have exhibited in many other Wedding Festivals but not Anderson. This building is fantastic. The layout is not like all the other shows. Close to 100% of our business is a direct result of exhibiting at Wedding Festivals. I am very much looking forward to Saturday's show.
I hope to see you there.
Mike
