So we're unloading an 8 tonne truck packed full of PA and the lampie turns to us and asks "oh, do you hire PA systems ?"

Wavelength envy.
We are 1000:1 and they don't have even 2:1-----------------------------
Why do light guys hate sound guys?

Re: Why i'm not a lampie
Sometimes i do envy the lampies, they have much more comfortable life then we do. If few lights go away during the show only few people will notice and they will never know if that was a part of the show or not.
But if few speakers go away or you have a lot of feedback, you are screwed.

Had a lighting guy tell me that he wouldn't want to do audio - in lighting they don't have to deal with the musicians directly.

No one takes pictures of the sound. No one goes home humming the lighting.

A Mexican-a light guy and a sound guy sitting in a bar.
The Mexican drinks a bottle of tequila-throw it up in the air and shoots it-THAT's how we party he says.
The light guy drinks 2 5ths of Jack-throws both bottles up in the air and shoots them both with one shot.
The sound guy shakes his head-pulls out his breefcase-does an 8 ball and shoots the light guy. NOW THAT'S HOW YOU PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Why i'm not a lampie
How many sound guys does it take to do lights?
Fuck lights.
A monitor guy and a light guy walk into a bar. You'd think one of them would've seen it.
What's the difference between a sound guy and a light guy?
A sound guy doesn't have to tell his dad he's gay.
:lol:

Sound guys can't be LDs because there's no "fixing it in the mix" when it comes to gels, focus or changing bulbs.

Re: Why i'm not a lampie
Funny you should mention that.
On my way to a an afternoon job in Berkeley CA i noticed that the restaurant across the street had signs on the door with the usual "tonight's service will be videotaped - if you do not want to be on camera please inform the staff, etc" disclaimer.
On my way out I saw someone quite obviously and openly trying to pick the lock on the back of a van with the logo of a local lighting company on it. I thought of phoning the police until I noticed the driver sitting in the grip truck parked behind the van laughing. I guess the person trying to pick the lock, presumably a lampie, had locked himself out of the van.
Logo on van partially obscured due to advice from my legal consultant ;-)

So did he get into the van and away before he got towed?

Re: Why i'm not a lampie
He wasn't in danger of getting towed. The no parking sign was there because whoever was producing the video shoot paid the city to reserve those spaces for the production trucks.
Besides, it was a Sunday and they don't enforce the meters or yellow curb loading zones that day.
As funny as I (and the guy in the grip truck) thought it was, I hope he got into the van before the director or whoever was writing the checks arrived.
