So when walking in this morning we had a pretty good idea of that it was going to be a rough day, we had had meetings about today and the lack of… Well it’s not really made to put a show in, so the pic above is what we first saw walking in.

The Guys Discussing what they need to cut but still have a show.

The Lift wasnt exactly clise to the stage, and it wasn’t centered, the best part was I can’t drive off of the plywood, and that’s all the plywood they had, it was fun scooting the lift over inches at a time.

Nick’s working on video things while I supervise, haha seriously I do work. Sometimes.

Audio hanging from some scaffolding, I just thought I would put this pic in here as well, or those who do audio and want to see what they did today, usually I could care less about the audio guys but, today I’ll share a pic since they had some trials as well.

FOH what can I say, at least the com runs were short.

The walls up and working, it always feels good when we can take what could have been a really long and bad day and turn it into a good a day, we all got together found out what the day was going to be like and started advancing what we would we need to make the day happen, like what needed to be cut or sized down, what we needed to hang things like renting this lull lift for me that video could even be hung today, overall I would have to say it wasn’t a bad day.

Just so your not confused, the description of the photo is underneath the picture.

The Room we rehearsed in, I’m still a little confused what it really is meant for, all I know is it was a really big place that had a lot of steal and really old tools, that I would love to buy,  the place was pretty cool, you had to drive through some different area’s of town to get there, but worth it once your there, way better than sound check (haha)

Bush (not sure if he’s related) looming up our video snake, yea that’s right you read right, a video snake, we put the robo controller and all the camera stuff at FOH because the lighting console controls everything, even the oven that cooks the meals for catering I think.

New York City is a post all by it self, and I’ll be getting to that at some point this week, but I thought I would share this picture because it’s just awesome.

Our Truck for the tour?

Did you count how many hands we have for load out?  I like this method, I’ve been on tours where each department has a sticker that’s a color, or a colored shirt that says the tour name, that all helps, but honestly I’ve really enjoyed this one, he hands out the gaffe tape and makes them put it on the front of their shirt, it really is a good idea because it’s cheap for one, and we can keep track of who is where, you wouldn’t think that would be a problem but it can be.

Our loading dock for the New York City show, it was 8th Ave if you really care, and nobody slowed down even a little as we unloaded in the street.

Bush (again) focusing the drum lipstick cam.  From the looks of it, you would think that the only two guys out of the 15-20 crew guys that actually work is Sam and Bush.  And that might be the truth I’m not really sure.
