Just back from a very long weekend in Albuquerque... and phew, I am just now catching my breath. On Friday evening, I was what we call a lighting 2nd for the Eli Young Band at the NM Expo State Fair. You can read about my experience there below at the next blog posting. Then I was off to do video at the Sandia Casino Amphitheater for the B.B. King & Buddy Guy Concert. It was an excellent concert! BB just celebrated his 85th birthday, and he's still going strong on the road. I can't imagine how many shows he has done on the road during his lifetime, but he makes each one seem like his first. I love his facial expressions when he plays his guitar... They are so animated and you can almost tell what he is thinking. All around enjoyable experience... Weather was beautiful.... There was a downfall to this gig though. I was robbed!!! No joke. I was robbed... that is, my stuff was stolen ;-(. My entire backpack, complete with Apple Powerbook, iPod, cell phone, car keys, bluetooth headset, appointment calendar, and Wedding Portfolio (for one of my clients)..... POOF.... gone..... just like that. It was a terrible feeling. The worst part of it was that it had to be one of the employees as it was taken well after the concert when the amphitheater was cleared of all audience members.
Lesson lived, lesson learned. ... I'm trying to shake it all off. There was nothing in that bag that wasn't irreplaceable.... (that is with the exception of my wedding portfolio and some keys). Deep breath.... - goose frabba..... goose frabba- ..... deep breath.
Well, it's almost midnight on Sunday night and I have to be up bright and early at 5:45 am to do my 8.4 mile run in the morning... and then I am off to the beautiful Truth or Consequences, NM for a training service.... Fun! Here are some pics of the Buddy Guy / BB King Concert:
