One of those days...
A bad gig (in a musician's sense- see note below) today kinda ruins it for me.
We're asked to perform 3 songs- two on the side stage, and one on the main stage with the PM and the kids (live telecast). We got there 1.5 hrs before the main stage event... (this is after I talk them down from 3 hrs call time). We spent the first hour working the logistics of both stages- leaving what I thought was plenty of time to perform our 2 songs (roughly 7 min total) at the small stage.
What ruined it was the organizer who insisted on running cues on the main stages THREE FREAKING TIMES!!! For us, it was boring as shit b/c it's not complicated AT ALL. We got about 30 kids too deal with as well and the thing is they'd been running that cues like 3-4 times before we get there already. How dumb are they?!?! The organizer also got 4 kids from TV competition to do much of the kids work, and they still messed it up!! So we ended up not getting to perform our two songs, and the kids messed up the key so badly we can barely sing the one song.
And later today I went to the gym without gym clothes in my backpack. It was too late to return to my office to grab it, so I came home. I'm gonna be fat and ugly now! Boo!!
