The fact that I had to make this sign in the first place is frustrating

Tip for all you artists out there - let your SM know that you plan to pour an entire bottle of hot sauce on the stage.

And, as a courtesy, do not throw said empty bottle, as it is glass and could shatter.

Thank you.

Tales From The Booth, #6284

Get flown out to do a show in Boulder. Get very little support from university, and must find gear in a city we don't know. Don't see nightclub venue until night before load in. 4am load in morning, get email asking us to push back our load in back. A load in that wasn't going to be enough time today anyway because we open tonight. Load in, space, do show and pray to god all things tech work. Coffee now please thank you.

Tales From The Booth #5384

I realized that I haven't posted a Tale in a long time. My apologies. This one happened to me years ago. I was production manager/stage manager at this fantastic dance venue, and we were doing a show with 6 solo pieces. The rest of the choreographers needed marley floor, but one insisted that she dance on the wood floor. Okay, fine, so before the last piece, we paused, and pulled up the marley. We were able to do it in 7 min. roughly, but it was still a total buzzkill for the end and exhausting. On the last show, previously mentioned choreographer stops me at the end of our marley change (I'm pouring sweat) and says 'Do you pull the marley for me?' I stare at her and say...'well, yeah...' She looks at me and says 'oh, you shouldn't have to do that! I could have danced on marley!!' *face palm*
