This is supposed to be a place for newbies to introduce themselves, so...
Hi! I'm John. I'm probably a bit older than most of you... make that a lot older than most of you... make that "older than dirt." I did sound-reinforcement for my first theatrical production (Crown H.S. Drama Club) in 1966.
I won't claim to have worked in theater all that time - electronic design puts food on the table. But for the last 10 years I've had the pleasure of doing sound and lighting for a lot of local-band concerts - mostly punk rock. At age 54, I still like my music loud and fast and want to help keep the local band scene alive and well.
And I get a big kick out of seeing kids having a good time, especially if they're doing something that I also enjoy. When I stumbled across ControlBooth.com, a forum for high-school-age techies, I said "Wow! I've got to be there!"
So here I am and I hope I will be welcome. I won't be much good at "how to light this scene," but I should be able to help with "how to keep from popping every circuit breaker in the place" and other technical questions about hooking up lights and sound equipment.
