 Most recently my friends and I helped set up a concert for the band "Tesla", and I just wanted to talk about how that turned out... 

First off some backstory. My friend Robbie's step dad is a promoter for many different bands, and it just so happened that there was a concert he was promoting this weekend and me and a couple of other friends were free. Prior to this concert I went to one at the same venue about a month beforehand and it was such an amazing experience! It was actually my first time attending a concert in my life, so I'd say it is something I'm glad I attended. 

The main difference between the concert most recently and the first one that I did was the amount of people attending, this time around the venue was completely told out. With over 1000 people showing up to watch Tesla preform live. I was not aware of who Tesla was, and the type of music they created. However, looking into it from sources on the internet and such, I can see why so many people were so interested in seeing them play! The concert was simply ecstatic and full of energy. The lead singer has such emphatic vocals. That man would be Jeff Keith, who is sitting on the far left.

      Anyways the day was festive to say the least. It officially started Saturday morning at roughly 10 a.m., and we had to unload a truck full of stage gear and supplies. This task alone took over 3 hours to get organized and set on stage. At that point it was around 2 o'clock and we did not let people in until 4. So those few hours were spent just sitting down doing nothing. Then the show started where we sat backstage and watched all the bands play, and once they were all done preforming we were tasked to clear the stage. Which was undoubtedly easier than unloading everything.

So yeah that's how the majority of my weekend was spent, overall it was a great time.
