red wristband means confetti crew

[spacebug]

So I just got back from the target center, where I loaded out Aerosmith. My assigned road crew member called himself Hammer and was quite plesant to work with despite the fact that he seemed very tired and eager to be done with the tour (five shows left) and see his wife again, who he hasn't seen since April. Tough life, roadieing. I was on confetti crew before I was switched to loading trucks, so I got to wander the catwalks of the Target center and load up six pretty huge confetti blowers connected to six tanks in the house. So much confetti. Met a strange self-proclaimed anarchist who was interesting to talk to and may well be crazy. He seemed to take a liking to me and fetched me gatorade and introduced me to his mohawked comrades and we gave him a ride home as he also lives in Northeast. Also somewhatnotable- Steven Tyler hissed at me. I don't know whether or not this was a sign of endearment or of annoyance. I was quickly walking in the opposite direction and didn't really have a good grasp of the situation. Mr Tyler, if you're reading this, I'm sorry if I stepped on your zebra pants or something, I was busy looking for a confetti blower case and didn't notice. okay, thanks. 12 semis and four hours later, I'm home with my very own set list (given to me by Hammer offhandedly as a souvenir) and my very own Aerosmith Local Crew 2002 tee shirt. huh.

How utterly fucking random. You were a roadie for Aerosmith! A confetti-roadie. Woot.

You lead a damned interesting life. Good on ya.
