Fan Fair...y



So as we continue to swelter here in Music City I noticed Colorado is having quite a cool down with the temp coming in today at 62 this morning...geez I would kill for some cooler weather right now. We at least have a breeze though. Here is a pic from Thursday...it was packed out! Mom and Dad came down Friday and left this morning and brought my bike back to IN for me. My Uncle will be passing through Denver in July so he is kind enough to take it out for me this summer. The other pic here is of me and my production manager, Mike West. He is so great and has become a great friend over the past 5 years of working together. Today they surprised me with the crew from the Stadium and here at the river all coming together in front of the morning crowd to give me a little goodbye nod since this is my last year. They all think I'm going to come back next year but I really don't want to spend one of my two weeks working here. I'm ready to let it go and explore everything/anything else I can! It has been a great experience and I love everyone I have worked with over the past 7 years, but it is time to move on.

I have had a great week back here in Nashville catching up with friends etc. Camden, Tory and Michelle hosted me twice for dinner and drinks and that was so great. I can't wait for them to make it back out to CO. Looking forward to tagging along on some adventures with them and watching Cam grow! My good friend Laura, who is also moving to Denver soon, and I have been hanging out a bit with out other friend Jesse. It has been fun to catch up with him and learn about his adventures in Burma and excite Laura even more about moving out.

I'm staying positive about the job front and all but I haven't heard back from the MDA. They said the end of this week but I'm going to give them until Monday. Then I'll call and follow up on Tuesday. Keep your fingers crossed.

CMA Music Fest - Last Year



So I find my self back in Nashville this week for CMA Music Fest. Things are going smoothly so far and we start show days tomorrow. We have 170 artists coming through in 4 days and are running a double stage set up right on the Cumberland River. It is HOT and MUGGY. Ugh! I sure do miss the dry air in CO already! Coming back to Nashville, I'm so glad I moved on to Colorado. I really love it out there and while I love Nashville, the only thing I am really missing are my friends. But I am definitely making some good friends out in Denver and am having a blast meeting new people and having new adventures. Now I just gotta bust ass and get in shape at altitude so I can keep up with everyone!

Low and behold Bean Blossom, IN makes an appearance at Music Fest...who knew!?

Haha
