Manage Handwrytten Notes

Corporate events can really be hit or miss. This one felt like a miss. The venue was super cool and the show went well I feel, but it just didn’t hit the mark like I wanted.

Load in time was set for 4 pm but we weren’t able to sound check due to the mariachi band that was set to start at 5… pdf said load in time started at 4 and the event started at 6 but the mariachi band was in the same space as us and requested we not sound check during their set from 5-6-6:15… we asked for 5 minutes and they begrudgingly obliged but it was still a pain. Had to make several adjustments on the fly during the night due to the situation

Stated above, situation plus the Lexington had 2 of their 4 ac systems working.. not a lot of requests and 70% of people left before 8:40pm…. Couldn’t get a rhythm with my partner… didn’t feel like it was the best show I am capable of. It went fine and the client John, was happy and extremely nice.

That’s why I say test

The Lexington is an awe inspiring sight. Just the sheer size of a carrier up close is enough to bring about deep emotional responses.

The event was super well planned. Good food, entertainment from the mariachi group and us was seamlessly transitioning. And the speakers were great! John was also a great host and gave us one of my favorite introductions I’ve ever had for a show.

The event was fun for sure and even though it was hot, people still had a good time. Talked and requested some fun and interesting songs

You never knew what you were gonna see, space cowboy by *NSYNC, Chicago, and even some blondie at one point. Very few “standard” songs came up. Was constantly testing my limits of my repertoire

All in all, a wonderful night shared while standing on a huge piece of history. Definitely a fun experience

Once I got everything loaded in and mostly set up, Andrew arrived to help finish up with the event setup. Between that and the event time load in situation it was a rough event
