[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 50708, member: 24"] Re: The short list for festivals; weather safety I hope someone onsite is looking at those, but the fundamental problem is that I am too busy to be constantly watching the weather myself (I do have a local warning system installed on my phone, but I have no idea what its coverage area is for when I am on the road). If nothing else, the last couple of years have shown, that the promoter needs to provide this service. If it is passed on to the production company, it needs to be a line item that provides for extra crew/equipment, not just something tacked onto their responsibilities. If the promoter/crew chief/stage manager cannot quickly give me those answers, it will be a red flag that I shouldn't be diving into my own responsibilities oblivious to what is happening around me. (On some of the summer runs where we have hit 6 festivals in 6 days, sometimes I am not sure what state I am in, let alone what the local forecast is). [/QUOTE]
