Gaff is the choice when it's being used on sets, taping cords down etc...duct tape is best when ghetto rigging things together. If you want to stick two things that don't belong together, together, use duct tape and appoxy, it makes the world a happy place!

i'm glad to see that you're here and happy to be here. the more the merrier!

yeah for more techies from the midwest! welcome aboard!

our director doesn't have the slightest idea what it takes to tech...so he spends all of his time making sure we do everything else (because no one is intelligent enough to know how to use a screw gun) so then when he's ready to actually rehearse, we're scrambling. generally it just ends up...

yes i know that you're going for cheap fog, but i vote that cheap fog is the best way. we have two of the expensive fog machines and the ridiculous things break about every time we get them out of the box. we could save ourselves a lot of time, energy and money if we would just stick with dry...

i'm just gonna be nice and say welcome

i'm with gafftaper in that it's a little late to get something really cool and special ordered (i.e. a bogo of their name) however LED mags are good and you could always go for a techie t-shirt.

I am positive that half of my junior techies think that they know way more about things than i do. it drives me insane! i have been here longer, i was personally taught by the master, i pretty much know what the hell's going on! so why do they feel the need to start messing with boards and...

You rock my world! I have been trying to find stuff like this for a while now. I thank you a million times, reading this made my day!

Ya'll make me laugh...we have stories about the benches in the booth and the chair with the stickers in the galley, but nobody seriously gets it on. TimeWarpedSR and I make sure that nothing more than a little fun goes on. We really don't want to be touching things that have nasty stuff on...

Dude you're making some of the rest of us look bad...I'm just a regular over-achiever :)

Famous cookies are right. Those things are excellent! I also like the cupcakes. Food in general is good. Twizzlers are the food of techies, and if you don't believe that you obviously have never played the Twizzler game at a cast party! :)

The only advice that I can give you is to try everything thing you can possibly come up with, and then ask someone else. My theory is usually that if I can't fix it I need to try and find Mr.E, our band director. If he can't solve the problem, we cry. Maybe there is a simple cord not...

Ah...traditions. We have many. The big tradition would have to be after strike actors and techiese alike gather into a circle on the stage and do the Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show. We do it twice, the first time is fun and the second time the seniors get into the middle for their...

Ok, so my school is way too poor to be able to afford gaffers tape. We live by Red Green. Watching Duct Tape Forever is almost a requirement. "Use the handyman's secret weapon, duct tape." is a common phrase that we use. However for pre-show TimeWarpedSR and I have "thing" that we do. I'm...
