One of my favorite parts of my job with Live Nation is getting to dream up and create fun party experiences for some very special patrons. It has been especially fun to have Nate on my team this season. Sometimes the job entails moving 5 port-a-potties by hand... those are the best parts of the job but I will take the messy with the wonderful.
It is always fun to get to know the patrons and their families. We get to celebrate birthdays, engagements, graduations, new jobs, pregnancies, babies and so much more with these patrons as the season goes on. I feel so fortunate to get to be part of this program. This year has been no different. It has been so fun to get to know some of the patrons and to get to catch up at every concert.

And by she, I mean me.
This summer vacation has hardly been a vacation. Since going down to one job on June 19th, I have had 18 days off including weekends! Now don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining. It is a perfect situation in that I get to work in the schools during the school year and at the concert venues over the summer, with some overlap of course. I absolutely LOVE what I do and am so honored that I get to be part of making these concert experiences happen for the fans. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I have worked LOTS of hours this summer prepping for, executing, and completing concerts at five different venues throughout Southern California. Country to Stoner Shows. Boy Bands to Americana... we have seen some of the biggest acts out there and we are only half way through our season. Even as I type this I have to take a second to really think about all of the acts that have come through the venues and how fortunate I am that I get to play a role in making the shows happen. It's a real honor to get to be part of a team that makes these shows happen.
So, I work hard for my money but I am thankful that I have a job that I love, which requires hard work but also beckons hard play.
Thankful...

Operation Get Out Of Debt began on April 1st.
I cannot tell you how happy I am that I made the decision to focus my finances and make a plan to get out of debt. I am BEYOND thankful that Nate took the time and made the HUGE effort to help me build a cash flow budget, create a plan of attack, and helped me to see through all of this clearly.
I am so proud of how well I have done with this journey.
My credit card balance has been cut in half... and I am not talking $1,000 to $500 either.
My savings account has grown exponentially.
I no longer wonder how I will pay for gas at the end of the month.
I can tell you exactly where every penny goes.
I am fairly certain the people at Target miss my "make it rain"mentality - I swear I must have gone to Target on pay day and just thrown my check in the air because I certainly spent A LOT of money there with not really anything to show for said purchases.
There are hard parts to this journey but I always have to take a step back and remind myself what the end goal is, and then the hard parts aren't so hard.

This year, Luke Bryan was awarded CMA Entertainer of the Year.
I understand why.
The man throws a party during his concert.
He hands out beer, pours moonshine out for members of the crowd, and keeps the energy high during his whole set.
Another weekend of Country Megaticket parties is in the books.

PS... hearing Luke Bryan sing "Do I" live made me pretty dang happy.

Upon experiencing the insanity that is working a "boy band" show, I have to apologize for my actions during the years 2000-2002.
I lined up early in the morning for the lottery of NSync tickets. I got back in line with the hopes of the release of a second date. I screamed at the top of my lungs when they came to the stage at Qualcomm stadium.
I was crazy for a boy band. Of course, Justin was my favorite, duh!
All this to say, I love my job.
It can be insane with many ups and downs but is a huge blessing in my life. I am so fortunate to get to do what I love and work with people who make me smile.
Cheers to One Direction and all the insanity it brought us!
