A new guy from Australia

[Reqel]

Hey I'm Dave
I'm from Melbourne, Australia
I'm a student working in all the productions that come up at my school. I really enjoy it.
I am aspiring to be a lighting tech, but I help out with anything and absolutely everything at my school
On a side not, I also play hockey
cheers
-Dave

Welcome to the Booth Dave! We have several regulars here from Oz who are a little odd. It's best to ignore the one named Hughesie, the boy is obsessed with eating cute small animals, he thinks the metric system sucks, and he's also very much against 220 voltage. Weird huh? I hope you represent your country better than he does in this fabulous international community.

Hockey Eh? Cool. I didn't know you played hockey down there. Given the generally warm climate that's a little surprising. Although if they can build a indoor ski resort in Saudi Arabia... what's a few ice rinks.

Well welcome, get to know the search function, there are unbelievable amounts of information in the archives. The only dumb question is the one that's been asked three times already. Have fun and be careful, this place is addicting.

How's that Logos? Doing my best to liven things up a little.

[Reqel]

Sorry I should have explained it better.

I play field hockey, forgot about the other types, although I have tried the other variants, to varied success.

May I ask what is wrong with 220 voltage? Or don't I want to open that can of worms?

Keep it in mind that I know hardly anything about the technology of theatre, but thats why I joined ControlBooth

Anyway thanks for the introduction

Don't worry I've already opened the can for you... it's just a matter of time until he wakes up and finds this thread.

You'll learn all kinds of great stuff here so ask away. We also like to have fun here too.

Hughesie and I are both from down Melbourne way.

Welcome to the booth.

Welcome to the booth Dave, I'm from Adelaide and if you weren't from Victoria I'd be really happy to see you. Now if you will excuse me for a moment I need to speak severely to Gafftaper.

OK that interesting game you call Hockey was developed from the real game field hockey and it might just interest you to know that in recent years Australia have been the world champions in this form of the game at least as often as they haven't been. Possibly even more often. Both in mens and womens versions of the game.
We do have ice rinks and we do have ice hockey and I do know who Wayne Gretsky is; I just don't care.

Keep it up Gaff and we might be able to start another great fight.

Oh and Dave, it's not that I've got anything against Victorians, it's just that you are ... well ... Victorians.

[gafftapegreenia]

The aussie's are fighting? Great, now we can go back to obsessing about old lighting fixtures.

[gafftaper]

The Aussies are fighting! SWEET! I'll run down to the green room and make Popcorn!

[Reqel]

Adelaide?

Whats in Adelaide? last time I was there was with the scout Jamboree in 2003 or sometime near it.

The population doubled with 12000 little kiddies running around and the like.

What weapons can us Aussies use against each other?

Ill throw Steve Bracks at you

(for those that dont know, Steve Bracks was the premier (a politician) of victoria)

feel the burn of the politician

hahaha

Me throwing Steve Bracks at Logos means I'm from melbourne
