Welcome to the Month From Hell
The things some people will do for money. In my case, possibly working 70 hour weeks shooting little league baseball games the first two days, then selling all those pictures in the forms of t-shirts, framed posters, full size cutouts etc. Yesterday was my first taste of a World Series opening ceremony and if you can imagine three girls setting up over 250 teams for team photos, then yelling “Kevin!” when they were ready for me to run over, tell them to say cheese, then snap two photos of their team and instantly move on. I did that for three straight hours. Then today was just as crazy in a much more boring way. I shot five games throughout the day, each taking a little over an hour, and was out at the complex for 12 hours. 12 HOURS!! My farmer’s tan is hilariously ridiculous and I sunburned the top of my right hand since my camera is on a pod and I just rest that hand on top of it when taking the picture. So, long story short, that’ll be my July, and while I can’t imagine how crazy it’d be to be on the traveling crew at the big world series events, here locally it’s still pretty damn crazy. Teams came from as far as Minnesota.
There’s is some great news amongst all this complaining. Charlie seems to have had some time on his hands this week and dare I say it, the label’s site looks even better than before. This kid never ceases to amaze me. But now it’s much more than a blog, it our website. I’m excited. But right now I can barely type this and knowing I’ll be waking up at 5:30am tomorrow to repeat it makes me want to cry. I’m going to expand on our about section over at LemonDrop, and try my best to keep providing you guys with at least a few great snipbits of music every day, but don’t get mad if I don’t post some days. My life’s a tad bit hectic for the next month. Hang with me and we’ll stick it out together.
Adios for now.
(Chickity check out the new and improved LemonDrop Records. Our bands have been officially introduced as well if you didn’t know who they were yet)
