[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 141225, member: 4463"] Re: Just how much of a sucker *am* I? Yes, I am doing it for free, although I have charged them for renting my gear in the past (they have since bought their own X32). It's a summer workshop group for 13-23yos, so obviously the actor, musician, and tech students (including the guy who was going to be the sound designer) aren't paid, quite the opposite, but there are several key adults who are, most notably a professional production manager. I'm doing it because I respect the group's work, having consulted for them the previous two summers, and because I count the kid who got hurt as a friend, so I'm mostly doing it for him, and because ultimately, yes, I enjoy it. That said, I'm sitting here at my day job dozing off after a long weekend and being up until 3am staring at a spreadsheet, and wondering what they would have had to pay to bring in somebody if I'd said no.
