In Alaska

Well we are here in Juneau, Alaska working hard in the theater installing "Extreme Vegas" here on the Norwegian Star.. The last 3 days we have started working at 4:30am, 5:30 am & 6am. (you can see each day I sleep a bit more! LOL)
but as the theater is being used most of each day, we have to work thru the night and early mornings.
Things are coming along and tonight at 11pm we will start programming the first section of lighting for the show probably thru most of the night.. In my past history with this show it has taken 3 to 4 nights of programming to accomplish the sometimes complicated designs that usually equals 180 or more cues for the 1 hr show. We will see how fast we can accomplish this first leg of programming tonight.

We still have Automation Programming to do which will also take most of one evening, as there is many times the Computer controls all the 10 elevators, Revolve, Curtains etc.. and all that has to be programmed in time with music..
The days of some stage tech pulling a rope to close a curtain are long gone.. now we have 3 curtains being pulled up to the ceiling a video screen lowering in & 2 lifts raising props up 6 feet. all with the push of One "GO" button. I love technology! I will be posting a Itunes Video Podcast later this evening, so be sure to subscribe to Extreme Vegas on the itunes store to see backstage footage and more! thanks for reading dont forget to comment and rate! --Justino Zoppe

Our Journey Begins

Well it's 7:40 am.. and we are at the airport getting ready to Fly to Seattle, WA. to Board Norwegian Cruise Lines "STAR". It has already been a busy morning, as we had to wake up at 4:30 as the transport car was arriving at 5:45. Daniela woke up at 5:22 saying why didn't the alarm go off? then a scene from Home Alone happened as we ran around full speed as the driver called asking for us to open the gate to our house! HE's HERE NOW!!! were still in our PJ's! It wasn't funny this morning.. but makes a good story now! Well our trip is starting.. we will see how the rest of the day goes.. all i can say is thank god for Starbucks Pumpkin Spice!

9/11 Remembered

“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children. “ G.W.
