OK, so most of you that read this (that would be 2 of you I think) know already that I got to interpret for Van Halen! This was on May 5th. It was a last minute thing, so there was NO prep time so it wasn't the best job that I had ever done by any stretch of the imagination. However, I was able to bring mom and Jose, for free. Park in VIP, and see the concert for free. On top of all of that, I worked with another interpreter, Susan, who was a GREAT team interpreter. I would work with her again in a hot minute! She has been in the biz for MUCH longer and she never lorded it over me or anything, was just super nice and friendly, not to mention a great interpreter!
So back to the concert. Unfortunately, we weren't near the stage, we were sat directly in front of the Deaf consumer 2/3 of the way back, but on the first row of bleacher seats. No way to meet the band, but it was still fun. They put on a good show!

How do you interpret Van Halen songs? Do you just make rock fingers the whole time?
Ha! Well, no, they actually have lyrics in the things that they call songs you see, and you interpret that! Although, they did have a song that used the phrase "Rock on" in the chorus so I did in fact use the Rock fingers for that, repeatedly!
