Weight loss

What a day! 8AM to 5PM, then 8PM to 1AM. That makes for a very long
day. Luckily, the place was so packed, I couldn't even get the truck in
except to one stage, so we just broke the others down and stacked them
on the sidewalks for me to pick up over the next few days. We did get
the Sampler Stage down and loaded on the truck and carted off to the
warehouse. At least we got something accomplished. Another problem we
ran into was no one else could "get-in" to load out their equipment, or
the tent tops that were over our stages, so everyone had no choice
except to sit and wait until their trucks could get in, with all their
stuff sitting on our stages.
I think the place filled up about noon. The people got so thick that I
had to stop driving my golf cart. I basically hung out behind the
Children's Stage from about noon until 5PM, then headed home, got a
whopping hour's worth of sleep, then picked up Joy at UAB, stopped off
at Brunos for our weekly "letting of the money" ritual, then headed back
to the warehouse, grabbed the big truck (mine's the bigger one in the
pictures below), and attempted to find a street that wasn't clogged with
cars and drunks. 6 blocks was the closest I could make it to the site
on the west side, and I found a place within 3 blocks on the east side,
so I walked in and helped tear everything apart. They were still
selling tickets at 10:PM, but then there were a couple of big acts that
were going to close the show.
I'm fixing to do some snuggle time, so here's the pictures...
