It has been a while...
That was the very thought running through my head as I pulled into the parking lot of the IPW arena. Turning the key in the ignition of my truck, the engine shuts off as I sit there for only a moment and then pull the keys out, placing them in my pocket and stepping out of the truck, shutting the door behind me. Walking through the parking lot, I came to a set of double doors and quickly entered through them as I was now standing inside of the very arena that I helped build. Removing the sunglasses from off of my face, I clipped them onto the collar of my T-shirt and looked around at everybody who filled this arena for the upcoming show that was happening tomorrow night.
"Gary, how are you doing my friend?"
Bringing my arms out while smiling, I became pretty good friends with Gary in my time with this company. Now for those of you who don't know who Gary is, he's one of the guys who controls all of the cameras and makes sure that everything is picture perfect for the show. Embracing him in a friendly brother type hug, we have a short conversation as he has work to get done.
"Drew, my man, what brings you back here?"
Releasing from the hug, I replied to him but kept it short so that he could finish his work and so that I didn't get him in trouble.
"I decided to attend this next show and as you know, being the first ever IPW Champion and all; I am allowed free pass back here to come and go. So, I wanted to see how all of you guys were doing and to give back a little bit, you know?
But anyway, I know that you're busy so I don't want to keep you. Keep up the great work Gary and you and I should catch up very soon."
As he nods his head agreeing with me, he gets caught up in a conversation with somebody else as business has called which is par for the course in our business. Turning around and continuing to walk through the hallway, I see many men and women who are familiar faces as I smile once again and approach them as to have a good conversation with everybody.
To be continued by anybody!
