Last night was the opening party for Noise Pop 2008. Every year, Noise Pop takes over the best-loved venues in San Francisco for six nights to host unforgettable performances by nationally-known indie rock, electronic, punk and cutting edge musical artists teamed up with the best local bands, transforming the city into an almost week-long celebration of the finest that the underground and not-so-underground has to offer.
Those aren't my words... I just copy n' pasted them from their website. Why am I so lazy? I've been hired as a camera operator to document the entire event and last night was the Opening Party. It wasn't so much the work that's got me beat. Although shooting hand held with a hefty high definition camera for 3 hours non-stop amongst a sweaty crowd can be pretty brutal. Nor was it the fact that it was my second gig for the day. Essentially stood, holding a camera for 12 hours yesterday. I think where it all went wrong was when the producer handed me a V.I.P. pass with access to the open bar.
Needless to say, I'm not capable of restraint in the face of FREE booze and my head is killing me. Oh well, it starts all over again in... 6 hours. Nothing cures a hang over like more free drinks.
