a little hard of hearing today.
Jun. 8th, 2007 11:53 amI worked the police concerts wed and thurs.
Wednesday I supervised at the East entrance to Key Arena, it went pretty well, had a few um... creative comments from people getting their bags inspected. There was one gal who informed me that although the catch on her purse was tight and hard to open her 'twat' was tighter... then there were the usual "Awww, you aren't going to pat me down, I was hoping to get felt up" from both guys and gals. of the 4 people that I had working with me, only 1 other was fairly experienced, 'V' has been with CMS for some time, the other 4 were new, 3 of them at least from out of town. 1 from Yakima and 2 from Tri-Cities I think. The guy from Yakima got into the spirit of things (I try to mix things up a bit by having fun at it and getting my people to have fun at it) and was helping me to holler up to get people into line and get ready to get their bags and packages inspected. I 'spose the biggest compliment of the night was when all the people I was in charge of told me that they'd love to work for me again. We got the job done and had a little fun doing it, and still did it efficiently.
Thursday I worked inside. originally I was supposed to be a floor rover, but that got nixed since i was running a little behind (getting there 15 minutes late isn't bad for coming all the way from my 'regular' job in Bothell and fighting the horrible traffic), most of which was due to A: Rush hour happening in the middle of my commute from work to work
and
B: Sold out show at the Key (14500 seats sold roughly)
it was nice to see the arena basically full, not something I've seen many times. I started off watching the Best Buy 'casbah' it was a Moroccan styled lounge put together for the best buy "VIP" guests. from the smells coming out of there I need to go to the Moroccan restaurant that is here in Seattle. then i transitioned to walking the backstage area. after that it was up to keep an eye on Fiction Plane while they signed autographs, they are a great trio, their music is good and all 3 of them are very nice and polite to everyone they talk to (doesn't matter if you are a fan or are working the venue).
after we got them back downstairs and backstage without incident, it was more cruising around and sending people on breaks (while The Police were playing). I thought they sounded better the 2nd night than the 1st, they sounded more cohesive the 2nd time around (for a group that hasn't played together in 25 years until this year it will take a little time to get used to playing together.
