So the last post was pretty bleak. Things are much better now. The show from hell is over and I have finally gotten it out of my system. Tomorrow I am loading in a bunch of gear for a real estate auction. We are putting up lighting, video and distributed sound for this really cool dinner/auction thing. There are four pieces of truss standing upright in the main room with 4 42" plasma screens on each truss. Each plasma screen has a different video feed from a live bidding software package so that people can see the properties as they update. There are some moving lights and colors as well to help with the atmosphere.
Next Friday I leave to go up to copper mountain and do a festival with Better Than Ezra headlining. There are a total of four bands playing each day (Saturday and Sunday). It should be interesting. We are setting up the SL250 (the smaller of our hydraulic mobile stages, if you want to find out more about them check this out stageline.com) on the snowpack at the bottom of the main lift. There is a complete sound, monitors, lighting, and backline package for the whole deal. I am the backline tech/monitor engineer for this one. We have five weekends of this starting on April 1.
Things are really starting to heat up as far as shows go. We don't have one weekend between now and the end of august that does not have a show. A bunch of shows are out of state which is cool.
That's all I have for now. Nothing profound.....
