Sound Technician February 26, 2010 - 12:54:12
It is the best of jobs, it is the worst of jobs... being a sound technician that is...

It is a job I enjoy because while many remain ignorant to exactly what it is I do, but still want me to do it. I am coming up on the first big event of the year for me.
THE MID-WINTER RETREAT!!!
Hosted by my local church in Chippewa Falls, it is the grace believers equivalent of NoBrandCon. It is a time of singing and much good teaching. I swear my Bible gets more worn out from these three days than most peoples do in a life time.
While our church is in Chippewa, the last several years have resorted to holding the saturday portion in Eau Claire for lack of space. This means I get to do one of my favorite task, Break down and setup.
This is a much more lengthy task than it use to be... the first year I had a tape recorder hooked to a wireless receiver.... now I have a PC, two speakers, a receiver, wireless microphone, and enough random cabling to seemingly go around the planet three times...
I will also likely lose part of my hearing temporarily because some nut job will test a microphone by breathing into it while I'm wearing the head phones!
So yeah if you get bored Saturday swing by the plaza... Its a free event and usually there are people outside the room willing to chat...
RGS out...
(would have been longer but I'm hungry)
