Another backstage snippet
Added 2025-07-19 01:42:54 +0000 UTCDay four (usually day three!) of load in, with yet another large truck stuffed to the ceiling with heavy flight cases. Lots of lights, truss and power distribution equipment.
Long heavy day, and another one tomorrow as we position, connect and program the last of the lights. Then the job should get a lot easier.
This is by far the hardest part of a job like this. Even the load-out after the show run has completed is much easier than the load-in. My hands are sore, my back is sore and I'm sleeping as soon as my head hits the pillow. Welcome to the glamour of showbiz.
Programming of the lighting starts next week.

I wear gloves while manhandling flight cases in the back of the truck, but they get in the way for most other stuff.
