Lighting Design 101:
Don’t be rude to your programmer and blame things on them that are actually your fault…
Because you’re afraid to work in blind and don’t actually do your notes…

Waiting until I'm on a very short standby to ask...
Please don’t.
Blind won’t kill you, let me work in it.
My boss and I went to the movies together today and I’m fairly certain we’re the only people who would complain that the “user interface” for the electronic ticket purchases is shitty and the “touch screen needs to be recalibrated.”

Designer Nightmares
Had a dream that our show assignments for next semester came out and I was designing Shrek: The Musical. Let’s hope this doesn’t actually happen….please no
rastafarian-girl asked: What school do you go too?
Just had to take some awkward family photos as a promo for my university’s technical theatre program…I can’t wait to see what they turn out like.
When your house LD/electrician used to be a slot machine tech, you’re gonna have a rough day.
First: he doesn’t know the proper order for connecting feeder to a distro. That can get you killed. You all saw that arc flash video.
He refuses to keep the shutters open on his movers, so the insides bake. We have at least 7 profiles with color errors.
