Woah, woah, woah — it’s already April? Where’d March go? I can’t believe I left the month post-less. 
I blame my busy work schedule and the arrival of Spring, aka the “Tour Season”.
To be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of talking about work while away from the office, but I have decided to dedicate this post to the good nights at the venue, since we just had another on Sunday for The Black Keys/Jay Reatard show. I had remembered to bring my camera for this gig and wanted to document a good day and a good show, as well as the great people I work with. Plus, I’m sure many people have been curious about what goes on behind the scenes…right?
This was 2nd St. when I arrived to work, sometime around 2 PM. A line had already formed, and load in had already begun. For a group with only two members, they had a lot of stuff…as well as a lot of lights! Sweet!
One of my co-workers, Justin, got this IRO recently. It’s the newest addition to the Glass House bike family. We’re now riding deep with four on the staff! When we get free time before the doors open we often ride around to keep things fun.
The much anticipated schedule is posted!
2nd St. right before doors…the start of the evening for guests, the 1/4 way mark for employees. The line by this time had reached near the end of the block.
During the opening band, Jay Reatard, I was running around the venue handling things and was unable to get any photos, unfortunately. Here are the Keys, though:
The crowd:
The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney:

Break down time:
The end, but not quite…my evening continued until closing time at the bar around the corner afterwards, and then a brief meal. I ended up asleep sometime around 4 AM. No pictures were taken, sadly. Whew! What a day…
