OK, so it may only be one decision made, but I have decided that I am only going to make weekly blog posts - unless there is something really dramatic that happens.
The past few days have been fairly quiet. We only had a couple of events to deliver/setup equipment for. The one with the most equipment only required a drop off while the one needing a setup just needed a laptop. Most of the time 'working' was driving to and from the events in Danbury.
I don't know whether or not I made it clear that 4AVNow is essentially the house A/V crew for the Crowne Plaza Danbury... Any events there require one of our crew members to go set and strike - and tech, if needed for any particular event - the A/V equipment. The closest any one of us lives to Danbury is about a 40 minute drive. This past week, there were two events needing A/V equipment there. So, a lot of driving to and from Danbury. It is a good thing that traveling is not something we are opposed to. We've gone to Denver, Nashville, Las Vegas, Boston (not that Boston is all that far...), Baltimore, and more...
In addition to the gigs, we also did quite a bit of work in the shop. Part of that involved two of our plexiglass podiums. Not long after getting the podiums, the tops of both podiums broke! one wasn't too serious, and we were able to mend it. The other was almost destroyed and was irreparable. During this past week, we built two new tops for the podiums out of 1/4" plywood. In actuality, this will work better for these podiums. It will allow for us to up-light the podiums without getting the light into the presenters' eyes. I'll post a picture from the next time that we use them.
