4/12/08 Angels Stadium

So I was helping out a friend today and did an audio setup at Angels Stadium. It was an auction and I was setting up mics', speakers and then babysitting them all. As I was loading in I forgot how much I hate wheeling my equipment up the slight slope that leads to main entrance of Angels Stadium. Once I'm in I quickly forget all of that. There is no glorious sight that a baseball field. Even to this day a hockey rink can't compare to a pro baseball stadium. The group was using both the inside of the club and the area directly behind Home plate. As I took my seat in the front row, I got a view that I can only imagine is spectacular for a baseball game. As a kid I used to sit 8 or 9 rows back of the dugout at Dodger stadium but those seats have nothing on the one I sat in tonight...err yesterday.

The group also also had VIP tours led by Former Angel great Clyde Wright. This was interesting as I had met Clyde when I did his daughter Devon's wedding. When we chatted I mentioned this. I remember Devon and Chris's wedding , it was fun. The thing I remember most is when I was meeting with Devon and Chris for the first time, she mentions that her brother plays baseball. She is a friend of another Bride, Krista May(Wirthgen) so I had no clue of her connection to Baseball. So I ask, oh does he play minor or Majors, she responded majors and I pause... "Are you Jaret Wright's sister. Yup.They then tell me about Clyde and his exploits in the major. Then Chris added what I will never forget, "Yeah but who cares about Clyde", Devon added, "well he's only paying for most of this" then we all laughed. So to this day every time I see the intro at Angels Stadium where they show clips of Clyde's no hitter, I always think about Chris and him saying "Who cares about Clyde"

On a side note when I told my dad I was DJing Jaret Wrights sisters wedding he said you mean Clyde Wright's daughter. See Chris, someone cared.

Now I am home and as usual I cannot sleep, the best part about being a DJ is I really am a night owl. I get home and find out that Discovery Channel is in the middle of a Deadliest Catch marathon. Why do I like shows about Crab fishing in Alaska. Is it the drama, the struggle against the elements, the macho ness of these rugged fishermen, no I'm pretty sure it is Mike Rowe, he is the narrator of the show. My sister Jenny says she could listen to him read a phone book. I wouldn't go that far but he sure could make me buy a Ford.

Also for those keeping score at home, C Squared Events new office number is (714)656-4132.
