Cygnus atratus

Jessica, my 9 year old daughter, and I are working on a Science report. She is studying the Black Swan of Australia. The strangest thing I learned about it is that there are ZERO swans with black feathers north of the equator. The Black Swan of the Australian continent is the only completely black swan. I just found that strange. Oh yeah, they are herbivores, just like me.

To My New Favorite Lead Rigger

This is Chad (I think...hey I may be a jerk who can barely remember anything, but at least I try)

I know we have on of the easiest shows in the world to rig, but somehow there are lots of guys out there that obviously hate their job. Thank you to you and your crew for your attitude, speed, and accuracy. Job exceptionally well done.

I'm not hatin' on the all the rest of you out there, just some.

Go Local 42

IATSE

Thank you to Local 13 yesterday and Local 42 today. You guys did a great job. Of course 42 still has time to screw up the show or the out. HAHAHA. Keep up the great work guys. I appreciate it. This in no way discounts the labor of other locals I have encountered. These guys were with us recently and were over the top. Thanks.

We are having a meeting

We are having a meeting about blogging...right now! you may hear from more of my friends soon. Yay!

Our beard off vs. Bring Your Own Beard Tour!!

The Battle of the Beard is on in 2008. We have our own tour "Beard Off." Darren and Mike decided to see who can grow the biggest beard by the end of the tour. I believe the last day of the tour they will each pluck 3 random beard hairs and measure to determine the winner. I don"t know if we are talking single longest, average length of the three, or total length of the three. Who cares. It is awesome!

Here are our fierce competitors.


I'm not sure how this activity helps in beard cultivation, but they claim it is the best.

Now! Becoming the Archetype is out on their Bring Your Own Beard Tour.

They are requesting pics of the tour or your beard. For information on sending pics of your beard go to http://buzzgrinder.com.

I think both of these beard related issues are important for America today.

Well, we had a great

Well, we had a great show last night. It was in Nashville even. It was nice to work with people I knew. Yay for no flames!

I miss my Milo

Today we were not able to fly our PA. Okay. It should be a nice easy day. PA flown when we get in. Quick little FOH setup. Tune it. Play Wii.


Lighting is loading in right now. Uhhhh... It's now after four, and after adding some of mine, some of the building's delay speakers, and a bunch of money spent on rented PA...

Business Time!

Katie and I took the kids to the zoo today. They have made a few changes and upgrades. I know we enjoyed it, but not as much as the turtles.

Lucky Turtle!

This one's for you Culmer!

How do I type gut busting laughter? I guess that'll do it.

Stagehands

Where do we get these people





See that little box out there? Was supposed to end up where I am standing. Oh my downstage motors were in the same spot before I could get a picture. I guess they were technically right.

UT, Baby

Did I stutter? Yeah, UT, BABY!! It's in Texas, get over it.

I just glad on one was seriously hurt...

I got a new laptop.
