Saturday was officially an 18 hour work day. I arrived at work at 9:15am and left at 3:15am the next morning. I was absolutely beat and slept half of the day away.
My job yesterday was to setup for and perform maintenance in the theater at which Superchic[k] and Plus One performed. It was a lot of dirty work and some easy work, but I think out of all the jobs at the park, this one was one of the better jobs.
For the first time ever, I was a spotter. I controlled one of 4 spot light on the performers and it was pretty interesting. We all had headsets and listened for our signal to turn a spot on or off and move it here or there. It was a very basic lighting because of our inexperience, but after the first few songs we all got the hang of it. By the end of the first performance, my neck had such a irritable crick in it. Good times.
I guess a highlight of the day was being able to sit and relax while I drove Superchic[k] to the airport. 
It was about a 45 minute ride so I got to listen to all of their conversations. While this band isn’t super well-known right now, they do get around (movie soundtracks, concerts, etc.) and have a fan base. Behind the scenes, this band is pretty much the same as everyone else.
I heard them talking about when they were young to who some of their friends are. The lead singer, Tricia (blonde hair), is somewhat of a diva in public but seemed pretty down to earth personally. The guys were all just joking around and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Although they are Christian performers, they have the same desires and problems that we all have. Sometimes, though, I tend to forget that.
I’m not famous, I’m not around famous people, but I always think of a famous person as having a more glorious life than me. They have some riches, some fame, it seems like such a nice life in some sense. But they’re just like you and me. They want their privacy, they want to do normal things like watching a movie at a theater and playing video games.
I asked them about their contract and I get the impression that they’re just waiting to get signed by a big label if the right offer comes along. Their envy is Switchfoot because they’ve played with them once or a few times.
It’ll be interesting to see where this Chicago based band is in five years.
