The few venues outside Illinois I've been at were relatively decent. The Aragon in Chicago is crazy, in that you back the trailer down the alley (a feat in itself given the street access), build an...

Looks like a novel way (in that no one has used it in years) to overcome some site limitations. Coming from a family of railfans, and living near the old Aurora Roundhouse I have an appreciation for...

I read somewhere (here or LightNetwork probably) about some new or rehabbed venue in the New York area. Apparently, they can drive trailers into the basement, right onto an elevator, and up or down...

Those dimmers ship with either 3 pin dmx (and let's skip the debate on that one) or 5 pin dmx, plus microplex jacks. I have some of each. The extension on the model # will define it, and the...

The Who with all the originals, with Nirvana opening. And Art Pepper playing the after party.

You're welcome. You won't get a true mirror look, but it will be lighter and safer.

I'm thinking silver mylar. Amazon.com: Reflective Mylar Roll 100 Feet Long: Patio, Lawn & Garden

Isn't the neutron discontinued? I thot the Radiance replaced it.

Regardless, I've used the Radiance a lot. It can ALMOST replicate the look of a fogger at full volume. But it's better as a...

There seems to be a bunch of possibilities. I'll just have to keep waiting. Fortunately, I don't have any money invested at the moment.

For those who buy directly from China, have you been having issues communicating with them? I have several suppliers I buy from and none of them are responding over the past few weeks. I'm...

A side note, but most LED pars, etc., and many other U.S. branded products are made in China. That's not to say they're no good, but just because something is called "American DJ" doesn't mean it's...

I think CO detectors are required in all buildings in Illinois now. It's not well enforced in residential properties, but commercial properties are supposed to be inspected regularly.

One other...

Yes, and no. One other reason is that there's a couple real estate developers who have a lot of money pouring into that neighborhood. Net profits of 4 - 10 times initial investment are common. The...

I worked at the Congress a couple times 5 - 6 years ago. It was bad then. That list is the tip of the iceberg.

I buy from Grand Stage a lot. They're good people. Clearwing might be a possibility, but I've never dealt with them. Full Compass is also in the area, but I don't know if they have soft goods.

I remember seeing Nook Schoenfeld's "rules" for when he had a gig with no little to no programming time, etc. It was along the lines of:
1. light the talent
2. light the stage
3 ...

I can't...

A. It's batten. Not baton (or Baton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

B. If you have a working, adequate fixture hanging from a position, and you don't need that fixture somewhere else, why...

It may have been buy it now, but once someone puts a bid in, the buy it now option often disappears. A lot of 12 is considered 1 item. Another e-bay peculiarity. As for shipping from Texas/US...

Bishop is correct, although you may get some access to the headliner's rig. Of course, they may not allow you to use the whole rig, just a small part of it.

The more I learn about what you're...

If you're traveling overseas, there's no way I'd consider carrying equipment beyond instruments, and even then I think I'd leave any vintage, irreplaceable stuff at home. Voltage differences, power...

I don't know the regulations for flying, but at a minimum it would probably be expensive as checked baggage. Personally, I think it would be easier to just make it part of your rider and have the...

At one time that might have been a good idea. But with 99% of the population (ok, not really, but you get the idea) having a cell with a good enough camera, it would be easier to have them e-mail a...

It's not more expensive if the other parts of your system are all edison. Or if you're in hotel ballrooms running on wall outlets, not a distro, etc. While a good 5-15 is expensive, having a bunch...

This showed up in my e-mail this morning:

They probably came from one of a number of Chinese workrooms. If you look at places like Alibaba, you'll find numerous LED pars, all with the same case, with marginally different diode layouts, etc....
