So the Super Bowl has came and went here in Indianapolis. My production labor company supplied 75 stagehands for 6 major events in Indy along with contracting out my riggers.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)


I had a crew work at the Bud Light Hotel for 10 days. They did the EA Sports Madden Bowl Party featuring The Roots, Nas, & Snoop Dogg. The Playboy Party featuring Neo, The Bud Light Party featuring Lil John, Pitbull, & 50 Cent. The Bud Light Tail Gate Party featuring The Bare Naked Ladies.

Loading in for 5 days...






The finished product...

We also did The Taste of the NFL. It was a charity food event to raise money for Gleaners Food Bank of Indianapolis

We did all the audio for the ESPN The Magazine NEXT party





We got to go to the party


So we got dressed up


D-Nice was the DJ




We also did Madonnas rehearsals for the half time show at a National Guard Armory, no pictures were allowed.

We did a marketing event inside the Indiana World Skating Academy's 2 ice rinks.

The highest profile gig was The Super Bowl Village. There were free concerts every night for 10 days. It was the center point of the Super Bowl activities in Indy

Me with James. He was the crew chief for the 10 day of the Super Bowl Village for me.








Ice Sculpture in the Village.


We got a last minute invite on Super Bowl Sunday to The Rolling Stone Magazine Tail Gate Party featuring The Root & Jane's Addiction.



g_eye_jo got to meet Captin Kirk Douglas, the guitar player for The Roots




My riggers hung all the rigging for the NFL Players Association Party.



When it was over I got one of the graffiti signs. I took it home and hung it in my garage.



All in all it was an amazing week. My crew performed flawlessly under intense pressure. I think the city of Indianapolis proved to the world that it a great place to visit and we can hold our own among the big cities.

Next up g_eye_jo & I are off to Las Vegas on the 16th for 4 nights.
