Apparently, the consensus is that I am "metro". You know what, I am okay with it. I like who Ron Ray is--including all his metro-ness. Pink shirts, chick flicks, color matching, fashion savvy, domestic duties...it is what it is. I can't change it. I don't want to. I like it. I AM METRO! HEAR ME ROAR!! Enough about that.
I have worked two shows at the House of Blues so far. It is fun, hectic, crazy, and cool all at the same time. The first night I checked ID's and gave people the appropriate wrist band if they were over 21 or not. The other "Door Hosts," a.k.a. security, said it was one of the craziest shows in a long time. It was a group called Slightly Stoopid. Also G-Love w/ Special Sauce opened for them. It was a college aged crowd and they were pretty wild. Later in the night I got to "wand" people. I used one of those metal detector wands (like at the airports) to search for any contraband. It was fun and interesting.
Last nights show was Bucky Covington from American Idol. THe show was okay. It was redneck heavy, but mostly calm. He played some of his own songs, but mostly did cover tunes. The crowd still had a great time. Bucky's twin brother plays drums for him in his band. I thought that was interesting. Bucky also seems a lot more seasoned and comfortable on stage now than he did on A.I. The opening act was a full on Tim McGraw rip off band. The lead singer even wore an outfit that was incredibly similar to what I have seen Tim Mcgraw wear--including the shiny black cowboy hat. It was LAME-O!
My next show is Mandy Moore...yay. We'll see how that goes. Those teenage girls can really get out of control.
Yesterday was a pretty long day. I had to switch shifts wit a guy so I could do HOB last night. So, I got to the pizza place at 11 a.m. worked until 5:20 then went straight t HOB and didn't get home until 1:30 a.m. I didn't start to feel it until after the show. I was pooped when I got home. Thank God I don't have to do that on a regular basis.
I have ALL DAY OFF tomorrow. I am excited.
Hope you had a good Labor Day weekend. Summer is almost gone. That is sad.

summer is NOT almost gone if you'd move to california.... :)
your job sounds so cool, ronnie! and what does that say if i like mandy moore? :)
Mandy Moore is OK. Her music is just not my flavor. Maybe your out of control inner teenager is trying to tell you something. Maybe she'll be in your area soon and you can go let your innere teenager out for a while. :)
