Meeting the President-Part 2

April 17, 2015

From the perfectly placed books that are all about family, on the shelves behind
 The Presidential podium, to the music(mostly light Pop and country-Only in America by Brooks & Dunn) that's being played, its all a well laid plan.

Media is positioned behind the crowd with large cameras. As a local girl,  I have seen several media folks that I have followed over the years and didn't miss my opportunity to snap a pic with them.

I mean would I really be a responsible over picture taker blogger, in I didn't! 

I'm a visual person and pictures explain my stories.

News Media waiting for Presidents arrival

I feel like a kid in a candy store and really can't stop smiling, I am so honored.

The lights in this room are massive and many, I mean they are bright and I am loving how they are making my skin look.

So I spot a guy hanging around in the crowd over to the side. But what caught my attention is what he was wearing. He had on a Banshee Rigging Crew Tee.

Corey Skipper, Banhsee Rigging Crew

Banshee, well parts of this show, were filmed in Mooresville and we saw these guys around town all the time using these massive lights to light the set of Banshee.

Corey was responsible for the large lights for the President as well. Thanks Corey for letting me talk your ear off. Glad to hear your a home town guy also.


FBI

 FBI guys hang in the wings wearing dark suites and clear ear pieces. 

They barely speak unless spoken too, must be part of the job.

Women,men, children, a Vet and the Women's Basketball Team from Johnson & Wales
  are in attendance. 

It's a small crowd of maybe 125 people of all walks of life. Pinch me.

Chatter is going on in the crowd and excitement feels the air as you hear phones dinging with the 

news, the President has landed in Charlotte. 

As I read the news on my phone, I get a lump in my throat thinking that very shortly, I will be seeing 

in person, The President of the United States.

A voice comes over the speaker shortly after and announces that we will be getting started so, please 

silence all cell phones and devices.

 Everyone rushes to do this, cause really no one wants a phone going off in the middle of the 

President speaking.

More FBI guys gather at a curtain that hangs the just behind the podium, you can tell something big 

is about to happen.

Stayed tuned for I am saving the best for last!
