There has been much talk lately of how busy we poor technicians must be. Usually a statement that comes right before “could you do me a favor?” It’s true. Every week for the past four I’ve been working on a new show. This week I’ve been working on three shows! I just got a delivery this morning, and I find that I have no idea what show it’s for.

I’m thinking something fun and sexy would be a good thing to hang onto- a lifeline for my sanity, if you will- to keep me sane during the next few weeks. I just have to keep thinking “Boston at the end of May. Boston at the end of May…’
