MSG in NYC

Everyone talks about and dreads working a show at Madison Square Garden. In all reality its kind of like having a day off without actually having a day off. Its local 1 for those who don't know and for a touring guy such as myself its all about pointing, directing, and keeping the guys busy. In fact its kind of like a social club in a way. Once you develop a good repoire with the guys and you keep them busy the day goes quite smoothly. Today has actually been one of the better days thus far on the tour, complete with a dark stage at two different points during the day. The dinner hour dark stage is what is allowing me the time to write this quick entry...
With about 2 hours to go before show time all is good in Craigers hood. The panic and stress of the major market shows left me years ago and now they are all treated the same....I leave the stress and manic behavior to those involved with management and administration, because honestly, if i had to take care of the guestlist in a city like New York or LA , i too would be stressed!

ill provide a show review later....
