i do enjoy eating in the booth... One time i had to sneak in our dinner (cheeseburgers an fries) while the director was giving a speech to the cast members in the house seats about not eating in the auditorium. And during this the ENTIRE tech crew was eating burgers and fries. We also like to cook bacon on our George Foreman grill during boring performances...
I think this belongs in the "Corn Chips in the Booth" thread, although funny. "do you smell bacon?" "oh, the shows almost over, then we can get food" "No, I REALLY think someone has bacon somewhere!"
I also think that monitors in the booth are more in the way than anything. You should be able to hear whats going on with out them, or you need to find a different spot for the sound console.
