Lighting Hang
Nov. 8th, 2002 10:42 pmThis isn't even slightly interesting, I promise. I would even privatize it, but I don't do that.
I love my lighting crew head, Andrea. She is the biggest mom.
We got the hang for Goodnight Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet mostly finished tonight. Only two more days (18-20 hours, I HOPE) of hang/focus/patch to go! Whee.
I really wasn't sure about hanging some of the lights, as I walked in really only comfortable about handling 6" Fesnels of off outer rigging bars (which are out and below the catwalk). It's a bit of a ways to reach out there, and I don't like being off balance like that.
But I ended up getting the hang of it, and everything went fine until the very last light I went to hang, a 6x12.
Now, a 6x12 is a pretty big light to be hanging by yourself. It wouldn't have been too much of a problem except that I was hanging it off that damn outer bar. And the clamp (which holds it to the bar) was facing away from me. I knew I could loosen the clamp and spin it around, but they hate me. If they aren't refusing to loosen, they're refusing to tighten.
So I tried to put it on as is, and it wasn't working, and I was convinced I would drop it. I pulled it back over the bar and called to Andrea, "I can't hang this light," in a tone to let her know it was personal, and not a technical difficulty.
And she came scrambling over, saying, "I'm coming, I'm coming!" as though she were sure I would try to do it before she could get there, and hurt myself or something.
What a mom, that girl's the best.

slimnmuscly is someone I've been reading for a few weeks. He's a gay escort, and he keeps this journal mostly to chronicle his experiences with that. (The website's interesting, too.)
He's insightful, and intelligent, and often he's funny, too. He relates amusing little stories like that.
I don't mean this to be a plug, exactly...hell, he doesn't seem to care who adds him, and he even disallows comments (which bugs me, but oh well).
He's just...interesting.
