[QUOTE="Chris Greco, post: 124372, member: 1346"] Gig from Hell That's an impressive case but probably waaaay over the top for my needs. I too used to keep mic clips on my stands but found in my current mic stand case config clips were getting broken so I moved to removing the clips with the mics. I went so far as to putting quick releases on all of them but I am finding that my crew feels differently about the quick releases and are removing them. I did say yesterday that I was going to do a count of my mic stands but today my truck never made it to my gig today due to a nasty accident on the George Washington bridge. My driver was on the road @ 4:30a for a 6:30 am load in but at 7 he was locked in traffic and literally didn't move for hours. At 10 I cut my losses and was able to locate a Stage Line stage and a Sound Co to cover my ass and kept my fingers crossed until things started to arrive. Long story short all the pieces fell into place around 2 and the gig went off, late but went off nun the less. Needless to say I didn't get a chance to count my mic stands. Maybe next week as the gear sits in a truck somewhere in the swamps of jersey till the next one. Today was one of those days that I really need to put behind me and learn from but in this situation, I really feel I did the right thing by cutting my losses and betting on sure things. Did I make anything on this one, hard to tell until all the cards fall where they may but one things for sure, I'm glad I'm home and its over. :cry: [/QUOTE]
