Just ushered Janet. Show was
Just ushered Janet. Show was awesome, night was not so much. They gave me these wonderfull little ear plugs that so nicely filtered out the screeching of the crowd and let me just hear the music. Fabulous little invention!! It was my first concert to usher, and I have to say I liked the crowd considerably more than the Aerosmith crowd. I had been a little worried after attending the Aerosmith concert, because they'd had some crowd problems there, but Janet Jackson brings nice people. =) Except I spent the ENTIRE opening act moving people around. They can't seem to get their correct seats on their own. =/ I must have moved seven or eight different groups of people. One group couldn't find their seats, so I had to move people out of them... when I got them to their seats, had to move MORE people, and so on. Ugh. So I couldn't tell ya if Ginuwine was good or not. Lol.
Okay, now to the part where my evening stopped being so good. I was ushering with this cute little man, Everett. He even gave Aarti and Meghan ear plugs when they came to visit me after Ginuwine. So Everett told me he didn't like working concerts because it was too loud, and if they let people go early, he was going to if that was alright with me. And then around the third song, he told me he was going down to get a drink of water. He didn't come back for a while, and then all these paramedics and security guys were running everywhere. Turns out my friend Everett had a heart attack in the hallway!!!!! They worked on him for thirty minutes, and by the time they put him in the ambulence he had a blood pressure. They kept coming to give me updates on him. He is in intensive care now and has a blood pressure, a pulse, and is breathing on his own. Thank GOD. But I spent a good portion of my evening either being worried about Everett or hearing updates on him. And THEN the head usher told me I had to keep an eye on the three girls in front of me because one of them was prone to seizures. So. My attention was on a lot of things other than just the concert.
But all in all, Janet is awesome. She put on an excellent show, she looked great... it was ALL GOOD. I'm so glad I got to see it, and I'm even happier I saw it for free and even got paid to be there. Lol.
