Greetings all,
As the title states, I am indeed an 'old guy', but only chronologically and on the outside. Inside, I am still the eager young Tech, willing to do whatever is necessary to make each and every show the best that I possibly can, by going that extra mile, paying attention to the miniscule details and NEVER doing anything half-as*ed. Doing this work is something that you can spend your entire life doing and have few regrets about doing so.
My journey in this industry has led me from smoky bars and scary places, to the 'world class' venue I work in today. I am happy to be part of an industry whose legacy spans thousands of years and has always brought delight and culture to the 'great un-washed masses'.
I truly envy you young folks, when I think of all of the advances that the age of the computer has brought to our industry and all of the advances yet to come.
Stick with it, work hard, lie to no one, for your reputation will follow you and you will have the joy of being paid well to do something that you truly love to do....'it surely beats working for a living'.
