Audio/Visual Tech Work

So Saturday Tuesday night earlier this week I received a phone call from a friend who was inquiring as to whether I would be interested in working a job for him from Saturday night to Sunday evening. He explained to the majority of the job and I said I would call him back with an answer later in the week. So after discussing the night with some people I decided I would work for my friend. It was a gig at Universal City Walk and it was located at the Gibson Amphitheater. The call time was 11 O'clock PM and we were supposed to go till 3 AM, which would get me home around 4 to sleep until 6 and be up again in time for rehearsal at my church. But the band didn't start playing until 11 PM and wasn't finish until 1 Am so we had to stay an extra 2 hours! We got paid for the extra two hours that made it a “full day” job so that I got the higher amount of pay then a “half-day" would offer. The only downside was that I didn't have one minute of sleep until Sunday night at 9 o'clock PM. Driving Sunday was one of the most dangerous things I have ever done. I was all good though and the band did really well on Sunday. Plus, I was able to see some friends of mine that I had gone on tour with this past summer. One of them was visiting from Colorado so that was a treat. We ended up getting lunch and just chilling at a park for the rest of the day until they had to leave. By that time I had gotten my 8th wind or something like that and was doing all right. Kind of out of it but doing alright. As I drove the 40-minute drive home I slowly became more and more tired. I made it home in the end but realized that driving on no sleep is something to try to avoid at all costs.
