RE: 9/11/2001 Where were you when you first heard about the attacks that occurred on that day?
I was on my way to work The Latin Grammys at the Forum in Los Angeles . We had been setting up for two or three days for the big show that it is and we were going to go to air(or and tape that night). I was on my way to work and I had the Howard Stern show on and being 6:00 am in the morning on the west coast I had missed a lot of what had happened earlier. Howard did a great job of actually not being in character and giving "news" . I got to work at the Forum and we hung out for a bit till production realized the show wasn't going to happen and we struck all the trucks and went home . That started a long run of shows that didn't happen I think the I set up for the SAG awards that year but they cancelled them because we invaded Iraq on that day. I also worked the World Series that year and it was kinda crazy with all the new security.
Thanks for sharing. With the time difference between the east and west coast, that must have been a very surprising way to wake up. I do remember a lot of events being postponed in the aftermath of 9/11. I'm not very in touch with sports, but I believe the Superbowl was postponed that season too and has been held at a later date ever since.
