Mayhem, moojoe, point taken. I'll be sure to bring it up if we use flashpots again. In the meantime, could we get back to the topic, please? Thanks Nick

Hey, I'd love to change it as much as you do... I'd like to change a lot of things in our Auditorium. The fact is, I'm a lowly sound guy and I get yelled at for straying from my bailiwick. Sorry that it's not that safe or up to legal standards, but I don't have any control over that area of the...
