We finally made it on site today, after leaving Las Vegas at 4 A.M. Monday. I always enjoy seeing everyone again that I haven’t seen since the last OA Shows “get together”. Plus it is always good to meet the new folks, to see where they are from and what their talents are.
We all worked during the day. The guys started cutting lumber and making the usual sawdust mess, as they create pieces of the stage and props. I went through all of the painting supplies from last year to see what we had and what we needed.
At 8 P.M., the truck showed up from Las Vegas with all of the staging parts, frames and tools. Another truck also showed up with all of the things needed for the lighting and electrical folks. As the equipment was unloaded, it quickly became evident that this arena was a lot smaller than ones we have used in the past.
