    Tradition!

    My school's major techie tradition is when we all get together about five to ten minutes before the show begins. We hold hands and do a "pulse" around the circle (I press someones hand, then they press the other presons hand they are touching, and they touch the persons hand they are touching...

    How many techs does it take to change a lightbulb?

    During our fall play last year, a lamp melted in the striplight. It took about 20 minutes and five or six people to get the thing out. Fun stuff, I am telling you.

    The dimmer rack from hell
