Lee Saylor says it best, Ive had young kids who come from Florida based schools and have worked corporate EV but done have any clue.....they want to be roadys and get in everyones way asking a million questions and actually slowing down the process, if your new say so, if you have questions ask, but not during the load-in setup, standing at a Power distro with tails in your hands saying OK the Green is the HOT.......when your assigned a job, you better speak up and say your skill set covers it, on the job training is good, But dont guess when theres MONEY and LIVES at risk....I think evey person loads trucks, Pushes boxes, Drags 4/0 and untangles the Sphagetti until there proven to move up the food chain.....

From Karl Ruling at ESTA:


Draft Guide for Luminaire Inspection Now Available for Review
BSR E1.32 - 201x, Guide for the Inspection of Entertainment Industry Luminaires, is available for public review at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php through 25 October 2010. The document is intended to provide guidance in the inspection of stage and studio luminaires used in the entertainment industry to evaluate their safety and any needed maintenance. An employer could write his own safety inspection procedures from scratch as part of his duty to provide a safe workplace, but borrowing from or adopting the final version of this document might be easier and lead to a better set of procedures.

The public review is over when the "Review End Date" shown on the website of October 26, 2010 starts. Comments should be submitted before then.

Reviewers also are requested to look for protected intellectual property in the document. ESTA does not intend to adopt any standard that requires the use of protected intellectual property, unless the use of that property is essential for technical reasons, and can be licensed and used by anyone without prejudice or preference for a reasonable fee. If any protected intellectual property is seen in the document, reviewers are asked to point it out in their comments.

As long as the tech and the supervisor don't get hung up on the "degree' or the 'experience', it doesn't matter as long as they can do the work. Sometimes techs have their degree and can't do the work as well as those who have been employed, but don't really have the skills to do the work. I've supervised both sides (degree and unskilled/skilled or no degree and skilled/unskilled.) Be honest with me and we can get the job done AND your'll work another day. Exagerate your skills and today will be the last day your will work with/for me.

Anyone got pics of the current U2 Tour rig? I hear its massive.

CO2 cannons are used by WWE and U2 in many forms and are great gear to have on hand. Good choice in my opinion.
