Thanks. Will do that today and -if no one objects- I'll share what I learn on these boards as well.

I run what is basically a road house and I try to start communicating with the tour (*I* initiate the conversation via email) about two weeks out.(yes I usually have seen something that resembles a rider the spring before they come in) I've had some tours that didn't contact me till 5 days...

When this first happened I thought it was operator error but it has happened MULTIPLE times after careful saves. What's more is that while working with a tour at a different theater on their touring Ion, they had the SAME issue. I can't write it up as operator error anymore For the last few...

Our theater just bought an LS9. Our Soundcraft died and we had rented the 16 channel version to limp through the last few dance recitals. There is a slight learning curve- very slight. So far I've been able to muddle my way through with very few issues. It's gotten rid of the need for our...

Curious because of circumstances at another venue, who did install, design, etc of the stage and shell? At another venue, a center ceiling piece where the bottom of the arbor bent and was at risk of failure. There had been a serious miscalculation in the weight of the ceiling. Since it was...

yes,, really late to jump into the thread but check this out: Screen Monkey - Show and Presentation Control Software I downloaded this the other day and will be playing with it soon.

Maybe I missed this in previous threads, if so I apologize. I live at the far end of "tornado alley" and since this spring has been proven to be rather active in the storm area this has been on my mind a good bit lately. About a month ago I had a private group in the theater doing a...

First thing I would do is to look for more money! You work for a non-profit, yes? Do your research and find some grant money. There is actually money out there for tech upgrades. It's worth the time and then you might have a couple of grand to spend instead of 400. Do you have a grants writer...

Hello, I'll probably do a lot of lurking here. I am a TD in Tennessee in a busy PAC. Also working on my masters, kids, you get the picture.Glad to find this site.Stephanie
