A Barking Dog

Is this guy stalking me? After a thread at the LAB I went into a reliving the past mode trying to figure out my history of concert attendance so I thought I’d Google the concert dates I remember from way back when. I thought that Pink Floyd Animals was my first show but it turns out that KISS at that same venue almost a year prior was where I broke my concert cherry. The funny thing was, as I sat watching the guys at FOH I wished I could have such a gig but thought I was way too late. I was 15, a freshman in high school. Almost 30 years later and what have I been doing for almost all of my adult life? Being that guy I saw on the scaffold so many years ago. Is this a great life or what…

I stumbled on this site http://www.kser.org/shows/exposure/my_concert_tickets.htm that had stubs from some shows, several actually, that I’d done in Seattle. The guy is Peter Dervin a DJ, err I mean air personality from the outskirts of my former home in Puget Sound. So many shows that it looked like a history of the work I did up there. There are also a few shows that he saw in LA prior to my moving to Seattle that I was working as well. Not only that, but I was at some of those shows pre getting into the biz as a punter. Spooky, but if I was able by being a sound dude at those shows to help Pete enjoy the show that’s good enough for me.

If he starts posting Vegas stubs I’m gonna have to track him down. For good measure, I’ve got the cans on, cranked to the max with the iPod locked on KISS Alive.
