Nuts, the former.

Depends on the type of venue. If I am working a school concert or small musical I will wear semi formal clothing (all black) which just means clean jeans and a nice shirt. When I work in the professional theater, I actually dress up in a suit. typically though for a school techie, you should probably wear all black, but make sure it is clean and semi formal.

I normally don't like to advertise companies, but for me my leatherman and Maglite are my two tools that I always have on my belt while working theatre. You might not need them all the time but when you do need them you will be glad you have them. And if you don't have them, you'll wish you did.
Clothing wise: for shows I use black dress pants and a black long sleeve t shirt. For formal day to day work (ie. working with a professional group in the local community theatre) I'll usually wear a black shirt with normal jeans.

I make good use of my tools. I always have my Leatherman with me, it is a CORE actually. And i also always have my AA LED Flashlight. I recently found an LED upgrade kit that includes an IQ push button switch. It has, i think four or five different settings for the lights intesity. The LED is a 1 bulb LED light. It's my new favorite, and you can beat a push button light.

I was able to find a pair of black pants at kohls i think the brand is urban pipe line or something. Not exactly a brand that i would have thought of but they are cargo pants that look pretty good, they look like nice black cargo pants not too baggy but enough pocket space for plenty of stuff. Thanks for the suggestion of looking at kolhs i wouldn't have thought of that. I also checked out the Red Wing black oxfords. I decided to get a pair and i love them, they are very comfortable. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Well, the un-official shoe of the touring lighting professional is Merrell. I like many others wear the Chameleon II Stretch. The guys on my last tour convinced me these shoes are the way to go. I have tried every shoe out there and these by far are the only ones I can wear for 18+ hours straight and still feel like i've just put them on an hour ago. They hold up pretty well too. What I really like about them is you don't have to break them in at all and your feet don't sweat in them like mine usually do. For those needing black... they come in that color as well!

As far as clothing... idk, i wear shorts most show days and a t-shirt . Maybe the occasional hoodie for those cold arena's.

Your resumé and contact sections list different addresses...?

Pretty sure we are talking about clothing not what my website says.

But if you really must know, the code for my site got corrupted and the only way for me to change my address is create a new website. So if you know flash and think you can figure it out, then by all means I'll send you the file to figure out.
