Me eat cookies and me know things.

Director: let put an intermission in this one hour show.

Me: *angry glare*

[Failbot @Theaterfail]

If it’s non-refundable, it’s not a deposit. It’s a fee.

[Failbot @Theaterfail]

Thank you, whoever came before me.

Going to start selling these signs. Should make enough money to buy LED striplights, and a house.

You know that one show that you did that you were so busy/had personal issues/sleep deprived/etc that you didn’t properly make all of the paperwork that you should have? That’s the one they’re going to want to remount.

[Failbot @Theaterfail]

Anyone have any suggestions on a decent moving head led for around $1100/per unit?

[Secret Sound Design @soundsecret]

Quiet time is not the time for the crew to finish setting up the sound system. That’s supposed to have happened already. Do we wait until focus to do soft patch? No, we don’t.

[Failbot @Theaterfail]

Anyone have a suggestion on a good cable tester?

[Failbot @Theaterfail]

I hung a whole system of R69 today. The crew didn’t make one joke. I’m disappointed.

Apparently knowing what you are doing is not a prerequisite for working in the production industry. It’s all in who you know.

Our etc express has completely stopped outputting DMX. Has anyone ever run into this problem?

[Failbot @Theaterfail]

I don’t know of an electrician that hasn’t had the day dream about gaining super powers for the sole purpose of hanging and focusing difficult lights and positions. And then extending that dream to see how much they could charge for their abilities.

[Failbot @Theaterfail]

@GemHayter I decided to keep my mouth shut. I doubt I’ll be at this place long and whatever their dynamic, it seems to work for them.

Question: I know the sound guy is either lying or incompetent, but I’m not handling sound for this show. Should I speak up or just let it be not my problem? He’s established here. I’m new. Thoughts?
