AGAIN I put a link up on here... Click on it!

Hi readers!

I again direct you to a talented writer by the name of Wintermoon13, nicknamed Winter, at http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2100708/wintermoon13, I would enjoy it much if you would go to the page, scroll to the bottom, read some of the stories, and review!!!
So far, I am the only one doing this, but I hope you do too!!!

Now, for what I did during tonight's band concert, the first one of the year, and as a plus, the first thing I covered as a yearbook crew member!!!

OK, to start off, I went over there at 6:30... I was a little late, so half of the stuff was set up, but I got to help with the setup of the music stands. Unfortunately, there were about fifteen short, so I guess fifteen people had to have memorized their notes...

Soon after, the people started POURING IN at an astounding rate, about five hundred in all.

I was chosen to be one of the five mobile photographers, and was given a good, sturdy camera to take pictures with during this time. It was HUGE, and took AMAZING photographs.
I probably got around 75 in all, most of them pretty good. Up in the back at the top of the risers were two more members of the yearbook crew with a video camera on a stand, recording the whole show!!!

It was awesome, to say the least.

An hour of pictures later, it was time to clean up. Helpfully, the person in charge asked the parents who came to each pick up one chair and fold it up against the wall. That saved the yearbook crew the trouble of taking a half hour of doing that. There was one more thing to do, however. The platform that the video camera sat on on the top of the risers had to be dissasembled. To do this, the seven or so of us there had to unwind all the bolts, and guess what happened? Someone accidently knocked the pile of bolts down THROUGH the risers, splitting them up. Seeing as I was the only one who could actually fit down there, I had to go pick up all twenty-four of them. Took me fifteen minutes to find them all and get back out, and by then the whole wooden construction was taken apart. Well, at least I didn't have to pull of the sideboards, which everybody said was difficult to do without falling or slipping off of the VERY tall risers.

In the end, I got my new camera for taking photos, a Canon PowerShot A11015 12.1, apparently quite new. Now I can ditch the ancient one that was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to take pictures with.

When waiting for my ride back home, I talked with the others waiting for their rides, all from the yearbook crew. There were three others at first, and we talked a bit on how the crew changed from last year. When one person got picked up, it was just me and two girls. I brought up a conversation about the most 'strange' advertisement any one of them have ever seen. They couldn't think of any good ones, but I could.
Once, when I was driving through Arizona with my family to Mexico, I saw this huge billboard that said "Phone out? Call us, and we'll give you a hand!"... I forget what company it was. We cracked up quite a bit on that one...
And then, without warning, it was time to go, and I went home, and wrote this blog :)

Ciao readers!
