I was going to guess the case screw poking through to the strip too :-)

I have spent the last hour trying to find anything that looks like this online, and am completely baffled. It looks like a really bad HPL inside of a GLC package, which sounds just about right for a Chinese knockoff. Whatever instrument you put it in, I would guess you're going to get a...

If this is a celebrity performer, there will be someone to talk to. Not necessarily the performer, but some sort of management or technical director who would much rather send you an email or rider than have their person fumbling around on stage, trying to plug a guitar into mystery cable.

It looks like a GLC.

Unless the organizer says that the guitarist will bring a DI, it may be quite a stretch to assume that he/she will have their own. Many performers expect the venue or sound people to provide this. Part of me would go so far as to worry that the performer won't have their own cable or, worse...

I wouldn't have even thought about that, but I will certainly watch for that now!

It's on a spider dolly.

I am sorry of this has been answered, but I didn't see anything relevant come up in my search.... The local ballet company is putting on a show at our theater in March, and for part of their show they want to roll our grand piano out onto the stage so the music can be performed live. This...

Our Express clock is pretty much worthless too. It loses a few minutes each day, but tends to stop losing time once it hits about 15 minutes behind - which makes absolutely no sense to me. Luckily for me, a TD for a show that came through a few years ago had this really cool device - it's...

As an avid Sopranos fan, I am not sure how I forgot about this fact :-)

I can just imagine the board meeting leading up to this... "Well, we needed $10 million to go ahead with this renovation. We're $1.4 million short, and if we don't get started before the end of the year we're going to lose a ton of grant money... Does anyone have any ideas? I know, let's...

I can't imagine working at a theater with lead weights and not getting bored one day and melting one down to play foundry. Just think of all the cool little castings and decorative puddles you could make with one of those :-)

Nevermind - I just saw the price. Wow.

I am sort of drooling over that for model making....

That would probably be a good approach - maybe just edit out some of the "idiot"s ;-)
