Snow!
Made it in to work without any trouble - but then, I live just off-site from the Lab, and I have four wheel drive. The roads in Warrenville are plowed, but ugly - there is that half-inch of leftover snow the plows miss, which is glazed over and wind-polished to a mirror sheen. The wind is starting to pick up, and what has been plowed is starting to ( Read more... ) -
Almost more fun than should be allowed by law...
This has been a week of plumbing issues. Fortunately, I've got a great landlord, who will let me do a lot of home repairs myself, since I can do them (and it saves him money since he doesn't have to get a plumber, electrician, or contractor to do them - all he has to do is pay for parts) - and, more importantly, I know what I can't do and when we ( Read more... ) -
LoneStarCon3
WednesdayMade it to San Antonio Wednesday afternoon and got checked in to the hotel. We lucked out, and got the Grand Ballroom early - 19:30 instead of 00:00, so we could start the build early (and actually get some sleep instead of staying up all night). The road cases of gear were delivered to the Grand Ballroom, and we sorted everything into ( Read more... ) -
Well this should be 'interesting'...

(Someone said we've got 36 hours to build a show that normally takes 3 days.) They haven't given me my run-time assignments yet, but I suspect I ( Read more... ) -
Electric - smooooth!
It's been terribly rainy the past few weeks, but I managed to get the electric bike out and ride it to work a few times This is especially good on Evening Shift, since they changed the hours that the East Gate was open, now closing it at 11pm instead of 1am. Evening Shift doesn't get out until after midnight, and I *really* hate driving all the ( Read more... ) -
I survived Capricon and the adventure of the Big Truck
Capricon went well - there was a lot of great music (and performers), and no disasters with the sound equipment. The fun part came during load-out ( Read more... ) -

MuseCon is coming up!
Our hotel block closes next week, and the hotel says that they anticipate nearly selling out due to Lollapalooza (in Grant Park on our weekend - quite a few of the close suburban hotels fill up for Lollapalooza). If you are going to MuseCon, and want to stay in the hotel, make sure you book your room before 7/17 to make sure you get one!
