Finally Installed

Well Sorry it has been so long since my last update, we have been slammed here in the Stardust theater!
We have now went from Freezing weather in Alaska, to boiling temperatures in Acapulco, Mexico!
Since my last post we have finally installed the show with literally only hrs to spare! Opening night for Extreme Vegas was in Astoria, Oregon. last week.
First show I admit needed a bit of Oil in the Gears.. but all in all it went very well for opening night..
I few notes for some of the crew, some automation adjustments, timing tweeks and were back in rehearsals once again. Seems we got all the bugs out and are ready to go, only for the huge semi loads full of New Sets for the New "Elements" Magic Production to arrive, causing us to all scratch our heads on how can we fit both of these shows in this theater?
With some very good management for shore side, we were able to play Tetris the real game and get everything in. Problem is once they started hanging all the sets, Lighting, and FX for the new show,
it changed the rails for Stage automation by 80% so last night we were up through the evening once again re-programming, re-measuring & ultimately Re-installing everything that involved Stage Automation.. and im sure since we have rigged many things in new locations this will cause us to have to adjust many of the nearly 150 lighting cues!
But all in all it's all coming together.. we have been on board now for almost one month.. our second show is Fri night.. we have a Private show only for the Crew the night before at 11:30pm and then 2 shows on Fri. 7 & 9pm. So keep your fingers crossed.. here we go again! LOL
