Hello There!

[Pip]

Hi everyone. What an awesome site I happened to stumble upon!!

I'm a design technology major at the University of Northern Colorado, emphasizing in sound and lighting.

This looks like a great community that I look forward to being a part of!

Cheers!

Welcome on board, Pip. I have the sense that I'm the only poster on this board who in not into lighting and sound design, but that's okay. You will find tons of info here, but be wary of asking a question before you use the search function or the guys will raze you for it...or maybe they just like razing me instead.

Anyhow, welcome, hope to see you posting frequently!

Welcome aboard! University of N. Colorado, eh? If you know Linden, I worked with her last summer at bristol valley theatre (summer stock). From what I've heard you have a pretty good department.

Use the search tool, there is a huge amount of useless information hidden away in threads here.

Haha, what are you into?
Thanks for the warm welcome.

Haha awesome! Yeah I know Linden! What's your name, I'll have to tell her I talked to you!
Man, I had the feeling this place was/ is going to be great for meeting people in the field...

Yeah, so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit- I'm only a freshman, but I can see that I'll be learning a lot in this program...

Oh, and you both mentioned the search before posting thing... Worry not, I happen to admin my own forum- I'm quite familiar with what not to do on a forum :P

Anyway, thanks to you both for the warm welcome, and I look forward to speaking with you in the future!

Welcome, Pip. Freshman=fresh meat! You know at some point you'll have to choose one over the other, as Lighting always goes SR, and Sound SL; at least in my world.

We're here (some of us, anyway) to tell you what your teachers don't/won't/shouldn't.

Yep, fresh meat is right.

Yeah, well the only reason i say sound/ lighting is because UNC doesn't *actually* have a sound design emphasis, so I'm TECHNICALLY lighting emphasis, but whatever. I'll learn both things here then get a proper sound engineering degree or something in grad school.

Thanks for the welcome!

Have to ask cause of the exact wording, did you come to this site through the firefox (and maybe other browsers) extension StumbleUpon ??? If so you have a new time killer here, I think my stumble button is getting jealous of my CB bookmark

You know, I worried that people would think that's what I meant. I capitalize it and make it one word when I actually mean I StumbledUpon something :P

Ahhh but yes- StumbleUpon is a fantastical thing, responsible for many hours of my time down the drain...

I do forsee this site fighting for the glory, although MY forum will always take the first seat as far as time commitment... I have an actual responsibility to my members there

We'll see, maybe CB will take second place after SU/ ThinkGeek. xD

Welcome to the Booth Pip! This is your one shot at completely unashamed self promotion so feel free to post a link to your forum if you want us to check it out. As for the search function. There are vast quantities of amazing knowledge buried in those archives. I occasionally just search a topic and start reading to see what I find.

I've wasted FAR too much time here in the last few years. But I've learned a lot to. Look out for the Aussies around here... they have an odd fascination with our peanut butter brands.

Yeah, I tend to relax and read on a forum before i start posting. In fact, this is more posting than I generally do this early in a forum membership. Haha.

I might share a link to my forum, we'll see. It depends. :P
Seems like a great place. I've already made a connection to someone who knows a girl I go to school with, so I can tell it's going to be great for getting to know people in the field, especially considering it's such a small field.

Oh, don't worry, I know very well how to deal with aussies and kiwis. My forum happens to have originated (far in the past, in a sort of disconnected way... long story... haha) in Australia, so it has a pretty big Australian and NZ memberbase. :P ANYWAY....... xD

Thanks again for the warm welcome.
