Many of you already know this, but when I'm not beading, I'm a stagehand, which means I get to set up a lot of cool concerts for a living. Sometimes, I even get to work the shows by running a spotlight or doing set change in between acts. This has been my only real career for the past 15 years. I'm sure it sounds like a lot of fun, but truthfully, it has its ups & downs just like any other job. It's very physically demanding, and at times, it has very odd hours. However, if you can look past all of that, the job can have some interesting moments...

But, work isn't always cool. For example, an uncool time would be when Jerry Lee Lewis goes onstage and plays his piano 'til it bursts into flames=:0

Then, immediately, a deckhand has to run out onstage with a fire extinguisher and try to put the blaze out. But, I imagine that when Jerry's Baby Grand catches on fire, it's tough to extinguish... Personally, I'd be praying that the fire department showed up. Fast...

And, here's the fire truck you've been waiting for. I beaded the driver's side door. It took me quite awhile to do that, too.

How do you think it looks so far??

And, speaking of my job, I'll be busy working today & tomorrow, so I'm not exactly sure when my next post will be, although I'm sure I'll post to my mobile blog... Also, Blogger finally fixed the commenting problem=:)
