[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 43511, member: 42"] Re: Getting the gig. Where did it all start? Tim, I remember when Rat started. There were plenty of local providers at the same level at that time. This is Los Angeles after all, not some Podunk town with no choice of providers. What set Rat apart from everyone else was the insatiable desire to constantly improve their gear and take gigs others wouldn't. I can't recall a time for nearly 20 years from the early 80s where Dave & Brian weren't designing a new system, improving monitors, or refining array techniques. But the main thing that set them apart from everyone else is that they were enthusiastic, very friendly, and willing to take on challenges. This is how they were able to go up against the larger providers over time like A1, Showco, Clair, etc. Your attitude appears to be the polar opposite of what made Rat successful from the very first post of yours that I read several years back.
