My Weekend and Photos For My Country Bumpkin' Sisters: Sare Bare & Julie Woolie

I had another really busy weekend. Friday night I worked a country music concert. It was on post put on by the military but the city had volunteered to be in charge of the backstage food area. It was a very interesting experience seeing the way the artists treated us and also to see the items that each performer requested to be made available for them at each venue (for example 18 tea lights, 12 bottles of Michelob Ultra or other low carb beer, a 12 passenger van, every brand of soda imaginable, etc.)


This is the group of us with Jason Aldean. If you're a country fan he sings "Hick Town" and has a new single called "Why"









This is everyone and Miranda Lambert. She was kind of evil but she put on a good show. She sings "Me and Charlie Talking" and "Kerosene"




I also attended my first public hearing for the skate park on Saturday. There were a few very heated debates and I was fascinated by this public meeting and the participants who came with real concerns and frustrations. We have talked for so long about these types of meetings in my rec. classes at HSU and it was interesting to actually be a part of the process. After all of my complaining I am very thankful to have been appointed to the committee; I think the experience will be invaluable.

Sunday I had to take tickets and hand out programs for the Peking Acrobats. If you have never seen them, it's a group from China that does the most interesting things with their bodies. For example:

If you look closely, you will see that each woman's face is between the legs of the woman below her, and then she bends her body almost in half to place her feet on the knees of the woman underneath so each set of legs actually belongs to the head between its feet. It was truly amazing. Odd, but very entertaining.
