    Corn chips in the booth.

    Trash bins are eessential! W have somethign like three, because we eat a lot of stuff that's wrapped, and we throw everything out there. They fill up fast.

    Fall Protection

    Aren;t you supposed to use a harness on scaff as well? On ours, which is about 10 feet high, I always wear a harness. Usually I connect it to the grid above (we use the scaff in the smaller studio space in the rare occasions when I need to fix something). Although I also sometimes connect it...

    Fall Protection

    I use the harnesses at school. They're only a few months old, and they're surprisingly comfortable for unpadded harnesses. We have two fall arrest harnesses, and one rapelling harness that does have some padding in it.

    Charging Non Profit Orgs

    Charging Non Profit Orgs

    building a resume

    If you're using a Mac, I can't recommend pickingup a copy of Apple's Pages software. It includes many resume teomplates that look really professional. In my opinion. A resume whould only be one page. Nobody wants to read three pages about you. Only list the makor shows, or the most...

    Search the forums for that exact thing. There was a topic on it recently.

    Wireless batteries

    We use Energizer Industrials as well. They also come with a cap on the contacts, so you can tell which ones are the fresh ones - which is handy.

    Final Show Pics up

    So, you were in charge of movers - so someone is assigned a department and has to manage it themselves (like rigging, conventionals, etc.)?

    Final Show Pics up

    I too am really digging the blue and green combination. I'm going to do that for our next concert at school. And the side lights in the third picture look really neat. Now, is the band that's playing a student band, or do you invite bands to play?
