Orange Cupcakes: Heading Home from LA

This was by the Vert Ramp...I'm bringing it home..somehow

I'm heading home from LA in a few hours, the X-Games is over, and I am exhausted. I woke up this morning with my hand closed, what seemingly looked like a normal pose for my hand, it was more muscle tension than I had hoped for to wake up with. I filled the tub with hot water and sat my hands in it to try and open them...this might last for a few days.

I finally got the clothes I dropped off at the cleaners on Thursday, only to put them in a bag of dirty clothes (as I only brought 1 bag and a backpack). Yesterday was a pretty easy day to take the remaining stuff down, we only spent about 4 hours at the Home Depot Center. We spent 17 hours the day/night before, getting every venue that was complete torn down and packed up.

Overall, for what I made on the trip and the fact that I only saw Staples Center and the Home Depot Center, I can't say that I would be willing to come out to LA for the X-Games again for ANC. When we arrived, that majority of the 54 machines were broken and missing parts, not only that, but every day, our contact asked us to place signs in new locations, causing tons of problems at other venues, as we had to find creative ways to get them out and into the new location, and then back to it's original spot...without ever testing them to make sure they worked.

I'm supposed to go back and work another week for ANC in Pittsburgh, but that may get cut short for a vacation.
