Live from ICSB 2008

The Marqee in the quad has a d&b Q-series array, stacked on the floor. The DJ is within a trilite cube, 3x5x3 or something like that.

There are 30 of that sort of pixel lines (I'll find out what they are), 6 studio beam rigged, 4 strobes rigghed on the front uprights, 2 of which rotating. In additon 4 projectors project some video loops on the 4 sides of the marquee (in diffenrent size)

After finding out that 101 in the union is 2.50£ and elsewhere 3£ I feel sad.

Live from ICSB 2008

Dbs is setup as Dbs us usual, + some d&b M4 as monitors and a M7CL. Lighting as usual. The bands are pretty good but unfortunately nobody cares about them. At all.

Live from ICSB 2008

Most of the light in the great hall is provided by the two house lights left on on the rake.

On stage, 2 wind up stands hold a trilite bar above the DJ with 4 MAC 2000 (2 wash 2 profile) and 8 half pixlelines sort of thing. On the floow 2 Mac 2000 profile and 4 mac 500 move around. All is controlled by a Vista. The DJ is lit by the in-house profiles on the side bars.

Behind the DJ the screen is back projected with some nice video.

Sound is provided by Nexo array (5 elements + subs) stacked on stage. (Nothing is flown). Subs under the stage.

The MDH setup is the following:

2 trilite cubes (2x2x3) which 4 profiles each (open white pointing at the ceilig mirror balls). 1 Mac 500 each and 2 roboscans each. One of the scans has a broken mirror.

On the ceiling there are 15 mirror balls (I think 12" or 15"), the ones with the little battery powered motor. 3 of them aren't spinning

(photos to come later)

Update:

the band is lit by 2 profiles, and some (4?) led bars on the floor. They have 2 monitors + one comms headset for the drummer. The PA are two W-audio speakers (15" + tweeters by the looks of it), controlled by a Yamaha desk (either the 02R96, or the DM1000, they are quite difficult to distinguish in the dark) Over all they sound pretty good I have to say.

The rides are very good! The going round spinning thing is really fun, looking forward to go on it again a bit more drunk!

There is also the merrygoround, bumper cars and another very scary spinning thing.

Much better than last year!

Does this include leathermans?

Saw this bcc gordon brown thing:
We are not out to criminalise people who have a good reason for being in possession of a knife, but frankly what good reasons would a youngster have for even carrying a penknife?
Commendable, I just hope cutting tangles of electric tape, removing cable ties and slicing salami are good reasons!

Respect.

I think one of the key traits of Tony Soprano is that when he receives an apology he just goes away. Like that, without saying "it's ok". And is not he doesn't care, he does, he really wanted it. But not, he goes away. Like that.

Badger.

Nella pessima traduzione di quest'intervista, il corriere ci fa scappare pure il, per così dire, refuso.

Tra l'altro, il badget era molto basso...
