Bob S, this one’s for you!
I am finally back from about a month of really busy traveling and trade shows — I have seen so many awesome people already in 2o13, I know that the rest of this year is going to be completely full of win…
…and I am talking about some serious Charlie Sheen kind of win. But no tiger blood and strippers, Laura would kill me and blood is nasty. Besides, after how much ridiculing I’ve done to the Twilight raisincakes, I wouldn’t be caught dead around a bunch of blood drinkers.
So let’s talk about Event Live Expo 2013! Yours truly was there promoting CAST Software, with a whole bunch of awesome gear from High End Systems in Austin! Let me just say that BlackTrax was awesome with a handful of Trackspot Bolts throwing a beam around the booth at the speed of mirrored lightning, and we were privileged to have in our rig two of the upcoming SolaSpot LED heads! I also had a Road Hog 4 in the booth, which is one sexy machine! The hardware got lots and lots of compliments by those who knew what it was, this wasn’t a show full of lighting design nerds like me, but for those who knew what was up, it was like meeting a celebrity.
One of my favorite companies at this year’s Event Live Expo was Brown United. Nope, they’re not a lighting anything company — Brown United is a temporary stage manufacturer. However, simply put, they build stages that don’t fall down. Like this:
and this:
I guess besides the fact that there is some outstanding engineering going on here, it’s made of steel. Steel, and maybe some magic rigging dust. More on the magic rigging dust later.
