This is IT!!!!!

I'm as ready as I'll ever be. It's 11:00 pm and I'm done. Can't run through it again, this last time tonight I finally felt like I had it. Especially since I never got to practice today with the others as planned..... I went early to sunnyvale super sport to help with some set up. Well, a bit of set up turned into the four of us, Karin, Yvonne, Orna and I, along with Angie, moving all the steps, risers bars and weights from the group x room all the way to the other side of the gym in to the basketball court. That was 54 sets of everything. Then, the truck delivering the other 50 sets was two hours late, so we set out setting everything up. We had the steps set up in rows in order to fit over 100, then heard that Ingrid wanted it set up stadium style, so the shifting began. When the rental truck arrived, driven by Ingrid and some 24HF corporate people, the pallets were unloaded and we started unpacking boxes upon boxes of more risers, steps, bars and weights. We had 104 set up but there were some pieces missing so we only have just under 100 and the latest sign up count is 107! Unreal. It's amazing the amount of work that goes into something like this. At LM quarterly events, there are crews that handle this. We helped Angie work with the party rental people who were building the stage, the LM banners were left and we had to get someone to hang those. The balloon guys showed up as Angie was leaving to go to San Jose because she is launching that one as well and and was setting up all those benches with hardly any help. I shudder to think what would have happened if we hadn't been there today. We got the balloon arches installed, the DJ table set up (he's arriving at 7:00 am and I hope that's enough time to get everything ready for a 7:45 live event!) I plan to show up at 7:00 am to help Angie get the DJ going and any last minute things done. There is literally a red carpet leading to the basketball court, with ropes. It looks awesome and should be a ton of fun. It's like a quarterly but not for instructors. I can't imagine what it will feel like being up there on stage with that court full of people, teaching an awesome release. There is always that first class uncertainty, when you release for the first time and have to work out any kinks. I wish the first time wasn't with Steve! Makes me all the more nervous. I'm going to plan on hanging out most of the day because after the first BP all the equipment has to be placed in the corner and sides of the gym, then after the Zumba party (370 people!!!!)that takes place after my CXWORX class, we only have 30 minutes to set up 60+ benches/weights for the 2:00 BP class! Going to be craaaaazy! Off to bed to try to get some quality sleep before I'm up before the sun ;-)
