Day 3 of rehearsal
Came in early in the morning to try and program scenes (snapshots) for all the songs- (which I have heard only once). After spending several hours working out effects, various EQ changes, etc… 25 scenes later and one of the video guys shows up and asks me for a mix. I patch a matrix mix to my stage rack so he can pick it up there. Now I realize that it’s only patched in my current scene. Since this is the first time I’ve used any kind of automation on the Pro 9, I pull out the trusty manual and scan the pages trying to figure out how to globally paste this change to all of my 25 scenes.

So in sharp contrast to the New Line space, Stray Dog does it shows in a breathtakingly beautiful old church called Tower Grove Abbey. It’s gorgeous, and it makes for a really cool place to see theatre. Hearing it is another story! To say the acoustics in there are a bit weird would be an understatement, but we made it work, and we didn’t need anything fancy in the way of gear, either. (more…)
After getting back from my gig in Novi, Michigan, I had two days in the shop and then I was off to Rochester, NY to do the same corporate gig. This time I went with my co-worker Dan Bluhm, who is an experienced PA Tech and has been touring for the past two years. All of the gear remained the same as the last show with minor tweaks to the PA. (more…)
I was on tour with Neil Young and Pearl Jam when I discovered I was pregnant – at the time it seemed like a cruel joke. I was pretty happy with my career, spending 8 – 10 months a year on the road. I was working with artists that I enjoyed and respected, juggling between Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, and hoping that Fugazi would tour again. I could not imagine fitting a child into this world, or if it was even possible. (more…)
