"I have similar problems with converting Grand MA to ChamSys speak. I have had a ChamSYs for a little while ( about 40 hours on it) and have had some LD's come thru my venue with some very specific needs from my house rig. We leave my…"
Elisa Goad commented on Brandon Creel's blog post Syntax: The Good, The Bad, and The Helpful
"The weirdest syntax I had to deal with was the HOG II to HOG III. It seemed a bad dream that so much was different. Avolite Pearl 2000 also kinda threw me, but that was only because I was mega spoiled with being on a Grand MA 1 for so long.…"
Elisa Goad commented on Justin Lang's blog post Did You Watch The Halftime Show?
"I was very impressed with Madonna's half time show. While some where complaining about her lip-syncing, all I could think about was the production value, which was impressive!! "
Elisa Goad commented on Leilani Macomber's blog post I think it's time. . . . . .
"I agree with Justin, but I'l give you a more whimsical solution. Take a quarter and flip it, I guarantee whichever side it lands on, you will be happy. I say this because of your age and your ability to 'turn' things into what you…"

EDC Orlando
"These pix are taken as a patron. This is not my rig. I travel all over the country to large outdoor music festivals and report as much as i can learn about each one. My focus is mainly on lighting."
JoeSki42 commented on Elisa Goad's blog post New Years Eve Resolutions? Part 1
"Ah! Well it seems I went over my word count for the comment feild. Well, suffice to say I had a wonderful team of people to help me on my film.
Gear wise I have very little to mention as a director. My primary tools for the…"

"Thank you very much for the write up, Elisa!
Even if the help you've given me towards my film was the least amount you'd given out to anyone this year it was still just enough to get me out of a righteously tight pinch with filling…"
Elisa Goad replied to Justin Lang's discussion What Projects are you working on?
"I'm reworking a very dated lighting rig in a popular downtown nightclub. New fixtures come in next week so I will be programming as well. I go on a electronic dance music cruise this weekend and will be reporting about it in my weekly blog, as…"

"If you think that's impressive you should check out EDC LA, ULTRA, and EDC Vegas pictures. Most the screens are LCD and LED high resolution and low resolution."
Elisa Goad commented on Elisa Goad's blog post New Years Eve Resolutions? Part 1
"That's a great point Jordan in regards to having a good attitude and stay positive. As a person who hires crew I always remember the techs that work hard with a smile on their face. Remember that film jobs have a cycle and when you get on…"

"And now for something completely different"
Just like the famous quote from Monty Python, I am going to switch gears on this blog post. Normally I cover Music festivals, bars/nightclubs, and raves, but this time I am going to focus on an industry that deserves a review. I am talking about the church ‘circuit’ or the mega church. In Orlando we have Northland Church, and it is very big and very well done in regards to…

If this title is Greek to you, then let me invite you into my world. I have a family and they are number 1 in my life, but when we talk about personal passion, and personal love, then we must be talking about music. I’m an original raver, this means I was ‘raving’ in the early 90’s. I personally hate the word raver, but was forced to accept the term that meant I spent a lot of money and time going to ‘techno’ concerts. Back in the day ‘techno’ covered all the genres: Trance, House,…

Its that time of year to give back to the community and a chance to donate my lighting designer services to a worthy cause. I do one free event and 2 half-day rate events a year for charity causes. I’d like to do more but my schedule is brutal. The CECF event is one of my favorites for…

The best thing about going down to Miami and the Winter Music Conference is the after parties. I have devoted a blog entry to this subject before. In fact it was a compilation of last years parties during Ultra. This year I wasn’t able to go to Ultra the full 3 days. I drove back to Orlando to work on Saturday, and then drove back to Miami that night after a 10 hour workday. A few days earlier I drove down Thursday night just to see Boysnoize, my favorite DJ. The event was hosted…

It’s that time of year when all my focus is on Miami, Ultra, and the Winter Music Conference. This week long music conference draws thousand of local, cross country, and international music fans to south Florida. The music is all electronic dance music or EDM as labeled by our peers. The WMC events takes place at local hotels, local nightclubs, and (Ultra) at the Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami. Music lovers can attend at all hours of the night and day, ranging from pool…
