[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 133038, member: 67"] Re: TSO Providence, RI on December 19th The real fun is prepping a tour, from delivery of the first truck load of truss, some NIB moving lights, bins of cables and a prep team with high speed label printers. Truss is laid out and bolted together and the first of numerous compromises will begin altering the original plan. Lights are mounted, labeled on truss and unit and connectors; power and data cables taped together as they are run. Trusses and cable hods get lots of color-coding with miles of tape. The set is assembled and any lighting or automation is added and tested. Eventually every cable hod is marked with end-of-truss spikes, cable pick spikes, and has been allocated space in a trunk or caddy. In the audio department the patch person configures sub snakes, input whips and looms, etc and any required assembly is done. The PA gets flown, monitor world is built and rehearsals can begin. Then it's show time and we get to see if it comes apart and goes into the trucks as anticipated. Sure thing, pal.... ;) The first loadout is the longest and 1 unlucky driver is going back home if his truck isn't needed... And the tour has officially begun. [/QUOTE]
