Hello from Las Vegas...

[RickGlass]

Well, not really.

I've been a freelancer in Boston, MA for about 4 years, got tired of the area and was lightly encouraged to move to Las Vegas.

Mostly I like working on carpentry projects, but I can also do lighting work pretty well, can even pretend that I know how to operate an MA 2 in an emergency.

I could use any hints and leads on work, can't live on one A/V company's scraps forever.

OH There are plenty of Vegas people here to give you Leads!

 

[Kelite]

Yup yup, many Las Vegas ControlBooth buddies here that may be able to plug your talent into the local pool. You may consider a quick search through archived threads which feature "Las Vegas", and you'll have a new contact list!

Welcome to the 'Booth, RickGlass

@porkchop, @ruinexplorer , @derekleffew... any advice for the new guy in town on finding more work?

 

[porkchop]

Call VER, they're a large enough company to be somewhat consistent and seem to be on the constant lookout for talented people.

Tait Towers Stage Technologies might be up your alley (5475 Wynn Rd, Suite 300, Las Vegas, NV 89118, Phone: +1 702 798 3838 Email: [email protected])

VER is only working for warehouse people, and paying poorly

TAIT, however, I am interested in, mostly because their gear is the least difficult to work with that I've ever experienced, it's like adult duplo blocks.

Got an email contact that isn't the sales office or does that reach their labor coordinator too?

I know a few who work with or have worked with them. I'll check. Also, if you are into magic, several magicians have shops in town.

That'd probably be the closest thing I'm going to find to scenic carpentry, I'll start poking around
