Tour Bus

Tonight, my blue bead-embroidered bus stopped backstage at the Grateful Dead show to pick up my friend John. We happened to show up just in time to hear Drums:)

As you can see, there's really nothing glamorous about being backstage at a rock concert. You can't see much, the music is loud, and it is usually very dark. John is used to it, though; he's a stagehand, so this was just another day of work for him. Except today, he brought his dog, Rudy. Yes, the REAL Rudy. Rudy is excited because he loves listening to drums. He keeps looking out the window hoping to catch a glimpse of the show...

Okay, Rudy, we'll stay for one more song:)

Congrats Diana! I saw that Bead Dreams winners on their site too!! I was and am so happy happy happy for you!!!

LOTS of great work there, and you definitely deserve your high placing! I, of course, would have put you in first, hee hee, although I'm not saying that in the spirit of poor sportsmanship or anything.

I've read others comments on the show and them having seen your work there. That is so neat. Congrats to you! I wish and think you should have gotten first, but heck, second isn't a bad place to be in that show! Hurrah.

I'm glad you and Rudy and John listened to one more song!
