Hmm interesting. Do you have all the PAR64s running in auto? Are they slave/mastered? I think that they probably should be, in some configuration. It may be more money than it's worth, but if you could run that from the board, with a sound sensor there for all lights, it might be cool, I don't really know how that'd all work out.
How was the ambient light? Did you break out the incandescents at all? I was sorta thinking that something that really might be worth exploring, in the situations you're in, are pinspots. Ziptie them up on the ceiling, any furniture, and create little bases, etc, to place them on the ground. The issue is you'd be running them in series, and would have to get creative with the cable run. I just thought that some static light, gelled appropriately of course, at the right intensity might enhance some of these functions.
Similarly, you could try and put together an "architectural lighting package" to compliment your normal lighting package. Skip the theatrical stuff entirely. Get R40s, and some sort of fixture from home-depot. Slap an inline dimmer on there, and you're good to go. Independent intensity control on each instrument, allowing you to compensate for transmission of varies gells, and allowing you to tweak things throughout the evening.
What show is that?
Wow, really could have fooled me.
Charc, in reference to the 'flash n trash' links you posted. A strobe and a blacklight are nice additions, but when it comes to the mushroom, or the other one, those things come a dime a dozen. I've seen dozens of them, and liked only a few. If you want the rotating multicolored effect, get a disco ball (not mirror ball, a disco ball). However, I like the rig as it is, but I can see two more scanners completing the package. But really, when it comes to 'flash n trash', nothing beats police beacons. Those are my favorite.
With the amateur hour nonsense from the novelty shop, it's a gimmick.
Here's what I've been doing for the past week.
