There's one statement I never wanted to have to yell on stage: "Arbor running, clear the stage."
Too late.
Today during changeover, the break failed on one of the linesets and the arbor ran. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, but that was plain luck.
I don't work the show tonight, but I'm dying to find out what's going on now...I would assume this would shut us down completely, but I guess we'll see.
Moral of the Day: Stupid people shouldn't work in jobs of responsibility.
