Past times with old friends

On Thursday night I had an opportunity to work for ESPN at the UNI/ Nicholls State football game. Although my job assignment was pretty mundane (walking the sideline with a parabolic microphone), I had the chance to reconnect with several former colleagues who are still in the video production business. Many of these individuals spend approximately 40 weeks a year traveling to stadiums and arenas around the country. Living out of a suitcase in nondescript hotel rooms, hanging out at seedy bars, eating bad food, and keeping irregular hours is the modus operandi of itinerant video professonals. We laughed about "the circus coming to town" and shared war stories of video productions gone bad. What a long strange trip...........
