I wasn't quite sure if I was ready for it, but it came anyway. Game one is finished. South Carolina defeated Vanderbilt this past Saturday, in what was my beginning as the director of operations and facilities. Yes, I was here for basketball and baseball last year, but nothing reached the magnitude of this game. As silly as it may be, and as many people will say, "it's just Vanderbilt football," I know how important it was to have things in order for an SEC football game. It wasn't perfect, but everything went well. I was thrilled with the work of my staff and very pleased with the operational outcome. Only five more to go.
So Edwin was in town tonight for Uptown Mix, and I have to say I was disappointed. Not in the performance, but in the fact Edwin was the opener for Big Head Todd. I'm not here to knock the other band, but personally I was just really looking forward to Edwin as the headliner. He wasn't, and I missed a good portion of the show because I was too dumb to check and see whom was playing first. Oh well. Lesson learned. It is a good thing VH will be here in a couple of weeks. At least I will totally get to act like an ass.
Needless to say, life has been incredibly hectic. The job is trying at times, but I am enjoying it more and more. It is fair to say I was down about things over the summer, but I believe that has to do with the fact there are no events going on. It is all paper work. Now that soccer and football are in full swing, it is nice to walk out and smell the freshly cut grass ... nice to hear the crowds ... nice to be around coaches who appreciate your hard work. Not that anyone is in this for validation, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
For those of you in Winston, be prepared ... ARGUS will be BACK home Saturday September 25th. The Garage has been gracious enough to have us all back. Erich and I enjoyed an acoustic show there back in August, and now for the FIRST TIME ever in Winston, the full band will rock the joint. I am PUMPED. If you are around the town, make sure you head to the show.
Enough for now. I head to Athens this weekend. I look forward to seeing a few old faces and celebrating the birthday of a new face.
