Good people out there.

[I Am Paula]

As a freelance Sound Goddess, I'm the one responsible for making rock concerts sound like they do. (Technically, Front of House Engineer)

Yesterday, for Canada's birthday, I was working an outdoor show in the main square of a nearby town. Long story short...my 7 a.m. load-in is hampered by the stage being in the wrong place! Then...the building we have been given access to for the massive amounts of electricity a rock concert needs was locked!

Next, and more to the point. The thunderstorm we were expecting came early, and it was all hands on deck to get the half finished stage under wraps.
I was literally soaked to the skin. A drowned rat, with dripping hair, runny makeup, and a squishy bra.

A girl from 'The Hair Company' across the square ran over, and told me to follow her. She wrapped me in a cape and threw my clothes in the dryer, gave me a complimentary blow dry and style, and let me use her washroom to make myself presentable enough not to scare the children.

There are really good people out there!

The sun came out, the temp. soared to the mid 90's, and some great bands gave their all to celebrate Canada Day.

Paula, I thought the only time Canada hit the mid-nineties was around 1995. But a Hot & Happy Canada Day to you! (Okay, yesterday...)

Yes, there are many, many more good people than bad out there just waiting for us to find them.

There was a story on the news last night (viral on the internets) about a woman who showed up at the checkout counter without enough money to pay for the disposable diapers she had in the cart.

A woman behind her, simply out of niceness, paid for the diapers. (Of course someone always has a iPad handy to record the good, the bad and the ugly - the good in this case!)

Glad, you had a nice person to help you & the day ended beautifully for all, Paula.

I got caught in the rain once, ended up looking like Tammy Faye Bakker in SNL's Church Chat with "all the Bundt Cakes came down on me".

No disrespect to meant to her at all. I thought she was an extraordinarily courageous woman.
May she Rest in Peace.

Kisses, :kiss:

That's so very nice of her. You're right, there are some really great people out there. Even some outside of Canada!
