Thanks, but no

me: wow, you guys sure get a lot of bruises

crew member #1: you don't even know the half of it *takes off shirt*

crew member #2: what are you doing?

crew member #1: I'm showing him my bruises!

crew member #3: who wants to see bruises? I've got some bruises

me: I just commented on how-

*half of available crew stars removing all of their clothing in front of me*

me: this isn't what I asked for

[casual-tech]

me: *surrounded by half naked crew members*

director (walking by): I'm not even going to ask.

[casual-tech]

friend: yeah, I suppose you could say I have friends in high places

me (from the catwalk): can you get me a couple of frames?

“EVERYTHING’S UNDER CONTROL”  I scream as the lights begin strobing for no reason at all

*uses the blackout button to check if I’m alone in the theater*

i’m so glad i have the booth. there are so many people in the cast and crew of this production that are rather unpleasant but instead of doing anything about it, i can sit in relative silence stewing in my hatred far above.

director: *addressing cast and crew* good job everyone. you all have worked so hard to create very different moods scene to scene and -

lighting designer: you're welcome.

I frickin’ love this set and how it’s all coming together. Have a few more steps to go. Glad I did all the signage first this time.

And yes, we are going to have a cage match. Place yer bets folks, I’ve got the featherweight title in the bag!

So apparently this was a gobo for something. Any ideas what it’s for?

but can you build a set… with friends?

wait, no, hold on, i wouldn’t trust mine with a hand screwdriver. abort sentimentality.

[q2qcomics-deactivated20200929]

“With” as in “alongside” it “with” as in “made out of”?

Because one of those is a crime.

Human bodies are barely structurally sound enough to stay together on their own, they would make terrible building material.

Oh, also murder is bad

[q2qcomics-deactivated20200929]

Perhaps they could fashion some sort of meat brick…

ERHRMM DON’T USE HUMAN REMAINS AS BUILDING MATERIALS, KIDDOS.

[theaterninja12]

Do human bodies count as raw meat?

[stagemanagerssaygo]

WHOA, stage management leaves Techblr alone for one second and you’re making meat bricks!?!

[scoutfinches]

jesus christ y'all

I would like to remind you all that several key members of the Meatgate incident were SMblrs.

Another Update

So I realize I’m never on here anymore but I do check it every once in a blue moon. I love what this blog represents and I miss it. I wish I had new content to post and I’m sorry I don’t anymore.

I eventually do plan on going back to that theater life but for now I can’t see that happening. Hopefully most of you guys will still be here when that happens.

Love you all and thank you for sticking around!
