So basically this is just a entry to rant about something that was SO.UNBELIVABLY.STUPID. that I still can't wrap my head around the fact that it actually happened.
So at the beginning of the month, we were supposed to go down to Athens to keep an eye on picket lines because there was supposed to be a workers strike. 12 hour shifts. 2 weeks straight. AMAZING hours. I was actually kind of excited to work it because it was a major change in routine from what we usually do.
My shift was from 7am-7pm, so our call time was 5am so we could all get to the arena and get down to Athens by post time. Fine. I mean, it's early, but it happens. We've had rediculous call times before, so this wasn't a huge shock. And it wasn't like it was only staff this time; two of the guys in the office (Dan and Jaime) were coming with us too. So we were all dragged out of bed at 3am for this.
Well, I guess the first day they didn't know if they were actually going to strike or not until like 5:30pm that night. When Dan was first told about this, he was also told to cancel the first shift (my shift) because they obviously didn't need us yet. Fine. Just to make sure, Dan emailed our contact again a few days we were supposed to start, only this time he was told, "No, go ahead and bring them down, there's always something going on down here for them to keep an eye on." Cool. So he told us our shift was back on.
So, the Monday this was all supposed to start, 8 of us get there at 5am, load up in the van, and head down to Athens. When we get there, Dan calls our contact and he doesn't pick up. So he leaves a message and we wait around for him to call us back. Dan said we'll give him till 7:15 before we just leave.
About 5 minutes later, the guy calls Dan back asking what we're doing in Athens, he told Dan he didn't need this shift. What? So Dan read him the email he received stating that yes, we will need this shift, go ahead and bring them.
The guys response? "That was a typo. You should have known that." Uh.....how the hell is that a typo? A typo is typing teh instead of the, not "Yes bring them" instead of "No, don't bring them." That's one HELL of a typo sir! So Dan's like, "Well thats FINE we'll go home, but we still have to charge you for 4 hours for dragging everyone down here." The guy goes BALISTIC, saying its pretty much all Dan's fault that we're down there when he doesn't need us and Dan must be stupid to think they WOULD need us when they didn't even know if they were striking yet.
Basically, Dan faught with this guy the ENTIRE ride back to the arena over charging him for 4 hours. I guess in the end, Seth told Dan to just let the company eat the cost of paying us because they didn't want to lose contracts with Ohio University since we do help them out with a lot of different things. I, personally, don't think that's fair. The guy is basically getting away with being a moron and not knowing what he sent, but it's not my place to comment on it.
Except on here. Heh.
They didn't actually end up striking. I don't think. There's a possibility Dan just pulled us out of it because this guy was an idiot.

Of Cowboys and Mexicans
Back in.....October maybe? Professional Bull Riders came to Nationwide. Oh boy....I'm never working another rodeo after dealing with these morons.
Well really....I guess they weren't so much morons as just REALLY annoying. Southern gentlemen my ASS.
I was put on dressing rooms. Which was fine because it's really easy and I could sit there and read most of the night and I was tired because this was right in the middle of the Hanson fall tour. Pretty sure I had gotten back from Indianapolis....earlier that morning. So yeah....
It was fine until the boys put on their gear. I don't know what it was about wearing chaps that turned perfect gentlemen into rude assholes, but it happened and I was not thrilled. Yes, I'm a girl. Yes, some people find me pretty. But I'm at work. I'm here for your protection. DO NOT HIT ON ME
REPEATEDLY
There was this was amazing asshole from Mexico that I had a deep desire to.....punch in the damned face. EVERY FUCKING TIME he walked by me, he had to comment on SOMETHING. Oh and the one time he came in and I was bending over to get my radio? Dear GOD....I thought I had entered a frat house or something. Never seen a girl with a nice ass before buddy? And no, I DON'T want to go drinking with you. I get it, you're going to do tequila shots. I still don't want to go. Oh you're buying? That's great. STILL DON'T WANT TO GO
PLEASE FUCKING STOP TALKING TO ME
Seriously, I almost wanted to radio Dan saying this dude was sexually harassing me cuz it was just WEIRD. I was uncomfortable with it and tried to laugh it off because we're not allowed to be rude to the client, but REALLY sir? REALLY?! I know, you're a bull rider. I don't find that amazing or appealing or attractive AT.ALL. Sorry, I just don't.
Thinking about him makes me mad all over again. I'm still shocked I didn't say anything to him.
The rest of the guys were okay. The most I got from any of them was "Well at least they gave us something nice to look at after a bad ride," which I guess was kinda sweet? I don't know. The one that said that was kinda cute too.
Except he decided to spit. On the floor. In the hallway. EW.

The Most "Rocking" Show I've Worked So Far: Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Okay, so. TSO. They were in town back in....December, I think. Maybe January. Around Christmasish. The actual date isn't important, just that it was BEYOND FREEZING the day they were in town.
Now, again, Nationwide is a hockey arena. Meaning....there's ice down. All the time in the winter because it takes too long for it to freeze again. We can't turn up the heat and it takes FOREVER for the backstage area to warm back up after having the loading dock door open because....it's all concrete.
So when it's cold A) there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I can do about it and 2) it's probably something YOU DID. Like, oh, I don't know....showing up 3 hours late then taking 2 hours to do load in even though you were crunched for time? Seriously. That happened.
I showed up about 10am, an hour before doors for the first show (2 shows that day, back to back....which killed me and we'll get to soon) and they were still setting up the stage? Cuz they had just finished load in like 20 minutes ago? GREAT FUCKING PLANNING THERE GUYS! So it was still freezing backstage because it was something like 10 degrees outside, we're in a concrete building, and there's ice under the stage.....things they should really be used to since they usually play big arenas.
I was posted backstage by the curtain and every thirty seconds or so I would hear, "IT IS SO COLD!" out of some worker or another, completely with a scowling look at me. Like it was my fault or something. Uh....correct? Gold star? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU?! Eventually, the sound tech came over to me and asked me to call command (which, by the way, was still 24 hr.....who's office was 10 feet away...) and ask them to turn up the heat.
ARE YOU STUPID?! I just told him that we don't control the heat, it's regulated because of the ice. His DUMBCUNT response? "We're not USING the ice." Well.....no....but the hockey team is tomorrow....
Common sense isn't so common.
Then one of the lead guys in the band came over and was like "You know, if we had more help with load in, we could have closed the door earlier. Why didn't you have more people here?" Uh....I don't know what he's used to from security....but that's crew. We have NOTHING to do with that. Whatever, some people will always be stupid.
Oh and I guess the guy that STARTED TSO was there. I had no idea who he was or what he looked like. And he had no pass. My job? Make sure everyone hanging out beside the stage has a pass. So I stopped him and asked him for it....and got my ass reamed. I'm sorry sir, you're not that important. I don't know your face. "But don't you KNOW WHO I AM?" has NEVER worked on me.....if you're that damned important, get an all access pass! christ almighty!
And that was just show one.
After that show, I had time to eat a sandwhich while walking between The Dungeon (our room) to grab a heavy coat and the entrance I was working. This was around 3pm. I had been there since 10 and that was my first break. I still haven't sat down. Got to doors and bullpens (getting some people in but still not taking tickets) so I jumped in to help.
Now, just a little....hint....for when you go to shows. If we ask you to unzip your jacket / lift up your sweatshirt....just do it. Without commenting on the weather. Yes, I know, IT'S COLD. At least you can go away from the doors. I can't. So don't continuously tell me how cold it is. Trust me, I'm way more aware of it than you are, trust me on that. And don't ask "Do I have to?" because technically...no, you don't. But then you don't get to go into the show. And no, I dont care how old you are, you CANNOT jsut walk pass me pretending you dont hear me. I will stop you and continuously repeat my question, complete with sign language translation, if need be. You don't do it, you leave. Simple as that.
And yes, it's a long show. Still can't bring in food. Stop bitching about it. And just because you LOL FORGOT you had half a bag of potato chips in your purse DOESN'T mean I'll let you bring it in. It still has to go. And don't say "well I wasn't going to eat it" because I don't fucking care. I really dont. Toss it or leave. Only choices.
THE PUBLIC I SWEAR.
I didn't really deal with their crew the second show, so I'll skip to the autograph line.
We won't even get into how I got tricked into staying for this fuckery. Cuz it was sneaky and really...I applaud Gary for pulling it off. I must have been tired / hungry, because I rarely fall for their tricks, but this time I did.
I was watching the end of the line to make sure it wasn't blocking people trying to leave. Their management kept coming over to me telling me to stop turning people away (I wasn't?) and quit telling people they'll stop signing at midnight (well that's what the sheet I was given said. That YOU wrote). Seriously, if you don't know when they'll stop signing, put "11-?" or something....not a time. And we all knew this was going to end up a clusterfuck because it was their last show of the tour.
TSO was supposed to come out at 10:30 or so. They came out at 11:45. Drunk as hell. Loud as hell. Hilarious as hell. It's not like you couldn't TELL, even from where I was, that they were toasted and loving it. So I honestly don't think turning to the last person in line and saying, "wow, started partying early" was all that "unprofessional" Mr. Tour Manager. Maybe you should have told them they shouldn't bust out the booze until after the autograph line? And why do you care so much about what I'm doing back here at the end of the line? Go wrangle in your bassist, he's sloppy drunk and trying to stand up and hug....OH EVERYONE. Get away from me.
It was seriously the LONGEST DAY EVER. I really hope they have a better crew next time they come to Nationwide.....SO GLAD THEY'RE DOING PALACE NEXT TIME THEY'RE HERE

Conversations with Marc Broussard
Nothing to do with work really....just a fun day being educated about a bill introduced in Utah by Mr. Marc Broussard via twitter. Posted here because I think it's cool
Me:Utah passed a law to prosecute women who have miscarriages. @marcbroussard I need your input on this fuckery
Marc: Okay so, the real intent of this law is to eliminate a loophole in the law to allow for prosecuting a mother who intentionally tries to harm the baby in the womb. Unfortunately, it creates a new loophole that could be interpreted to include all sorts of behaviors of a pregnant woman like smoking, drinking, etc. My question is, how is it double homicide when a man, or woman for that matter, kills a pregnant woman, even if that woman is on her way to abort the baby? It seems really strange that the state views the child in the womb differently in the two scenarios, muredered pregnant woman and woman in abortion clinic.
Me: interesting. i understand the intent of the law to protect children in the womb, but i think "miscarriages" is the wrong word to use here, because most women view miscarriages as something out of their control. true, they can be forced, usually not
Marc: The law was proposed in response to a 17 yr old girl that paid a 21 yr old boy to beat her in an attempt to induce late term mis. The guy that initiated the bill is pro-life and admitted the bill was also to impose stronger restrictions while denying the claim that the law would be used against miscarriages generally. Btw, the 17 yr old had a healthy baby and the boy is in jail. Though the 17 yr old got off because of a loophole in law that the new law was trying to correct. But maybe you knew all that :0/
Me: not really. thanx. but to me thats violence against a person...i just have an issue with them using the term miscarriage

Heartbreak Warfare...
So, on Friday, John Mayer was in town. This post is barely about him at all. Except to say that I LOVE HIM! No lie. He's amazingly nice. And nowhere near as douchtastic as everyone thinks he is. And his crew is kinda amazing too.
I mean, it's just the little things that they did. Asking if I'm okay, do I need water, do I want a cookie....the fact that I probably DON'T want to sit by trashcans all day. Let me explain that: I was working West End, which is basically the entrance to what we call the "Star Tunnel," which is where the dressing rooms, production offices, and hockey locker rooms are (remember that, it's important in a minute) and no one is allowed back there without a pass that allows access to the dressing rooms. So I was making sure that everyone that went back there had a pass. I got there at 10am when they were still setting up the stage and backstage was still messed up. Now usually, when the crew is finishing up setting up the stage, the put stuff wherever is most convienent for them and basically ignore security. The guy that was helping with the stage moved the trash cans out of the way and put them right next to me. I wasn't going to say anything because hey, it's their show, but he looked at me and then was like, "Yeah, you probably don't want to sit next to those all day" and MOVED them. Seriously. Nothing like that ever happens with the big production shows.
Which this show really wasn't. It was a concert that happened to be in a big arena simply because it's John Mayer. There was barely any big lighting setups, no pyro.....nothing that usually goes along with shows at Nationwide. And he travels with 2 trucks. In contrast, Miley Cyrus travels with 17. Just saying.
There was one AMAZING BITCH on his crew though. I thought she was the tour manager, but she wasn't: she was with LiveNation. Boo evil, and this lady just solidifies that fact. Now, when we were given the sheet for the show, it said that John was coming on site at 2:30, so we had someone coming in for dressing rooms at 2. Usually that's no big deal. Well, John showed up at 1:30 and no one was back on dressing rooms yet. No one cared but this girl. and BOY did she care.
Now, Nationwide is not REALLY a concert arena: it's a hockey arena that has concerts sometimes. The hockey team was there because they had a game Thursday, the high school tornaments were starting Saturday, Bluejackets had a game Saturday....etc. I mean, yeah, they were around. As were the visiting team. They were both in the arena that afternoon practicing and since it's really THEIR arena, we can't tell them where to go or what to do. Of course they were going in and out of Star Tunnel. That's where their locker rooms are.
Well heaven forbid, they were glancing at where the dressing rooms are. Not going into them, just glancing over. Well LiveNation Whore thought that they were "showing too much interest" in the dressing rooms and started yelling at Dan, the main security guy, about how no ones on dressing rooms yet. Dan told her we had someone coming in in like 20 mins and if she needed someone down there, he'll go hang out down there until the next person shows up. She just kept bitching. So she comes up to me and was like "YOU ARE GOING ON DRESSING ROOMS!" grabbed my chair, and dragged it back to the dressing rooms and was like "SIT!" and smirked at Dan saying, "There. FIXED."
Whatever, bitch, you're the ONLY one that cared. Yeah, it's JM and he's a pretty big star, but honestly? Calm the fuck down.
Oh and then she yelled at JM's CREW for playing batmitten backstage after they were done before doors opened.
Really, sit the fuck down lady. You're there for ticketing issues since you guys decided to make it a paperless ticket tour. Let the tour manager deal with this shit.
OI!!

Welcome Letter
Well, it's me, Kait. Decided to start a new blog....mostly about my job. Because, honestly, alot of the stuff I see and go through....are kinda hilarious. It's fun being a fly on the wall backstage at many...MANY high-end shows.
In case you don't know, I work crowd control / event staff / security. Mainly, we work at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, but we also do anything at Ohio Stadium (aka: The Horseshoe) and Crew Stadium, and then various other things in the area. Concerts in Athens, football games in Indianapolis and West Virgina, conventions at the Greater Columbus Convention Center....basically anything that needs a little extra help keeping the fucktards under control.
Oh, and most of the public really does fall into the "fucktard" category. This is really just a welcome letter, but the stories are coming. Oh yes, they are. The first post will be about the hilarity that was John Mayer.
But for now, I must go.
