The Las Vegas Jazz Trio featuring Kai Brant played the Las Vegas Marriott Wednesday night. This was another private event for the helicopter convention. It went well for us, and I see that it went well for them, as I found this information on their site:
HELI-EXPO 2013 was a great success! HAI hosted 60 helicopters, 736 exhibitors, and 20,393 attendees, making us once again the world’s largest helicopter trade show and exposition.
At the end of the night I was loading out—pushing my drum cart and pulling the hardware case. I’ve gotten considerable practice with this, and I can move my whole kit in one trip, but it’s still some work. Altogether it weighs around 230 lbs. On my way down the hall, I heard a guy tell his friend, “There’s one way to stay in shape: play the drums in a band.”
