My universal solution to every problem I can't solve:
Fly it.
It's only funny because I have no flys at school and crappy sandbag hemp rope flys at work!
So every once in a while a few days before opening night for Wiz of Oz:
"Ryan, how can we get this house at a slant without breaking it after we move it across the stage?"
"Fly it."
Very fun show! Still programming it a week after opening to iron out the bugs from the other three LDs! That reminds me, I hope nobody shut the board off because I forgot to save my changes. :x Oh crap...

we have this posted on our stage door:
Prayer of the Tech Week
Lord,
grant me the Serenity
to accept the things that I cannot change,
the Courage
to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom
to hide the bodies of those actors
I had to kill because they pissed me off.
Amen.
and:
Stupid mistakes are made by others; we only make unadvoidable errors.
after the show we all go down to the dressing rooms with the actors. we stand in the door way and the guys yell" i wanna dip my balls in it!!" the girls say "i wanna dip my boobs in it!!' it goes back and forth for awhile. im not sure how that one started.....

All the opera geeks used to say somethin' like "Il boca de lupo." Which I'm told means "in the mouth of the wolf." It's foriegn so it makes ya seem smart, and it's italian so...yeah I guess that's good, too.
So, why in the mouth of the wolf?
1. When you are already in the mouth of the wolf, it can't get much worse.
2. When you are in the mouth of the wolf, if you just play it cool maybe she won't bite down? (Animal Face-off fans unite)
Heck, I dunno...opera geeks.
"Life is short, opera is long."

im sure its in here somewhere, but since the post is 7 pages, and i dont really remember everything in it, our preshow well wishing is usually "dont screw up" or "crap i wish i had more time to prepare for this" sometimes if were in a good mood and have prepped alot a "good luck" might come out, but usually its the other two

For me it's budget, safety, deadline.
Unfortunately, bugeting is like the trigger on a gun:
You can't budge-it with the safety, and without the safety you make the deadline. Or something like that. Poor attempt at a joke.
Preshow speech on opening night of Wiz of Oz:
"Are they done programming the cues yet?!"
