Fullerton College Theater Fest

New Toys Make Happy Boys (and Girls)

Just got a new power quality meter and it's more fun than OK Go "This Too Shall Pass." We used it for the first time in the entertainment electricity, power distribution, and controls class at Texas State University this week. First we connected it to a conventional fixture and saw the voltage and current wave form. Then we connected it to an LED fixture and saw the harmonic content added by the pulse-width modulation power supply. But when we connected it to an audio amplifier the harmonic cont… Continue

hotels

I don't demand much from hotels other than a comfy bed and perhaps a working remote. A lot of times I stay in plush hotels. I don't mind them except when I'm starved and they want 32 clams for a breakfast plate. But sometimes I think they go over the top. And I don't mean this in a good way. They have sacrificed common sense for art.
Last week my gal and I were both downtown Chicago where we were booked into a "W" hotel. She pointed out to me that she doesn't really like this

More support gripes

Every week I get calls from guys on how to do something on a console. I enjoy it. No matter how busy I am, I take a minute to solve their issue. Because they are most likely stuck at a show, and a client is asking for something they know can be done, but can't remember how to do it. It's all good.
Now because I run a variety of lighting desks on different shows, my old brain sometimes forgets how to do certain tasks. Like say "fanning delay times" on a sequence of cues. I hunt and peck for… Continue

Jet Lag

In my world, I tend to take some long ass flights to strange parts of the continent. Over the year it's gotten better. Maybe because I'm older, I seem to fly in better classes, on better built aircraft. The seats go back almost into a bed position where I can sleep sideways. This certainly helps.
It's all about the timing. And of course the proper medication does help. Especially in coach class (cattle herding). I very rarely take pills for anything but my cholesterol. But I have an old tired ba… Continue
