Concert Night at the Nugget

A Day in the Life assignment is one from that we were told about at the very beginning of the semester. We watched some very touching slideshows and I didn't think that I'd be able to ever do something like that. I didn't know where to start so I just followed the lead of my partner. We arrived at the Nugget and there was a lot of people in attendance for Concert Night. Pizza was in the air and heavy metal rang out of the speakers. The crowd of course was very punk rock and they were ready to party. Attendees went bananas and moshing was common practice. Since I love music I was right at home.

Speaking with the event coordinators was so refreshing. To say that they put the events on they were humble and very coy. They didn't want to take credit for having a hand in such a successful series of events. I enjoyed the energy in the Nugget that night. You could see clearly that friends were meeting up and were very happy to be there with each other.

The Nugget's night supervisor, Pamela Graham, otherwise known as Mama Nugget, who is also a Hurricane Katrina survivor, made her presence known and felt during the event. She swept the room greeting the attendees with hugs and high fives. She told me in an exclusive interview how she loves music and kids. She wants to use her live as an example of how you can make it through any adversity. As we spoke, a student tried to get one more beer, but Mama Nugget cut him off. She said she treats the students as she would her own kids.

The Daily 49er did an article on Mama Nugget, check it out.
