Something about covering a country music awards program just makes you want to yell, YEE-HAW!
Over the weekend, I got to travel to Las Vegas to run our satellite truck for the ACM Awards.
I don’t often get to work with our entertainment unit these days, so it was pretty cool to be given the assignment.
It’s been a while since I followed Country music and I have to admit, I barely recognized anyone except for the biggest stars.
The last time I covered this awards show, I think Kenny Rogers was still walking the red carpet.
Mostly I just snapped shots of the people who were being interviewed.
It was a CBS sponsored event, so I wasn’t surprised to see some recognizable CBS show stars.
Las Vegas is always an adventure, even if it’s just a mild adventure. I’m glad everything ran very smoothly and while there, I even had a chance to enjoy a nice piece of cheap prime rib with a cold beer.
Plus, I’m not much of a gambler, but I managed to walk away from the slot machines with $40.00 of Sin City’s money.
That doesn’t make us even, but it closes the gap just a bit.
All in all, if you have to work for a living, not a bad way to spend a weekend.
