Roadie Blog: Portland -Show Day

Portland -Show Day

Wednesday, September 28, 2005

Get off the bus and it's freezing here. Even colder than Canada. Into the old Memorial Coliseum, man is this place OLD. Catering is in the US Plywood Room, a room of some distinction (?). Normal day at work. Meet Jeff and Kelly from Piloti shoes (great people) around 6pm and we take a quick tour backstage and then they disappear into the crowd to watch the show.

BBQ after load out (Roadie Friday). Tons of food, there must be 100 hamburger patties, brats and chicken. Who is going to eat all this? Well, at the end, all the burgers and brats are gone and there's a little chicken left. Onto the buses late for our ride to Sacramento for a day off, don't want to get there too early rooms won't be ready.
