Because this hasn't been explained already:

You have to connect the splitters to the Pearl because many of our 5-Core cables only have 3 conductors inside.

How about the "wiggly PARs" in the cellar? They move...and are bright. I believe they can be fitted with 575W lamps. Unfortunately, they run on 120V, which is only used by barbarians. =Serious Section= Any lights brighter than 250W would be a big improvement. The Alpha 300s look very inter...

How do you feel about the DJM 800? I grew quite fond of the Allen & Heath during my tenure at the bop. The filters were particularly intuitive. Have you tried any of the PC-based DJ solutions? I was at an event a few weeks back, where the DJ was using VirtualDJ , and was quite impressed by it. I...

Oops. I meant to put that back together at some point. As usual, I'll deflect the blame to a theatre group. Have you had any luck using the 1220s this year? It was somewhat of a letdown when, once we got all of the mechanical issues sorted out, they seem to have developed all sorts of DMX issues. Oh...

Or we could just get my hammer out and use them to get over exam stress! By the look of them, I believe that's already been done. I'm also not kidding about them being *covered* in paint. There are also two Martin 1220s "for parts" in the storage container in the carpark, although I would...

We actually have 8 movitecs, if you count the ones that are broken and covered in paint.

Actually, the back bar could be a good place to hang the technobeams. They seem to be a tad brighter than the Pro Spots or Pro Washes. I suppose one could also rig them on the side bars, although I'm not entirely sure how that'd look. God, I miss planning these things. Do take pictures! Good luck wi...

Do Northern Light have the color scroller unit for the Atomic Strobe available to hire? I'd also find a place to hang the Technobeams -- they're very pretty, bright, and reliable. I also probably shouldn't need to mention that the Movitecs don't like to be moved, as it tends to make the hampster ins...

gotta be a joke

seriously. it has to.



On the other hand, some of the other photos in that group make us look like a first-class operation!
