Mark Barnes
Can anyone suggest a reputable sound co. to contact about renting some PA
gear for the night? Our engineer will be bringing along his own effects
rack.
Thanks in advance!

If you are talking in/near Philadelphia, I'd recommend Starlite Productions
in Cherry Hill, NJ 1-856-849-9000 or www.starlite.com. For audio ask for Gus
Gomez, Stage/Theatre lighting ask for Bob Wolfe and Video, ask for Bill
Barnes.

We are located in Rochester, NY and can provide PA gear to cover
everything from a small bar setup to an arena..... Call Sebastian at the
shop and he can work out the details with you. Phone number is 585-266-5450
As a side note for those lurking, we also have 4000sq ft of staging, 2
Thomas 40x40ft roofs and 240K of lighting.

I took a peek at your schedule on your website... Canandaigua is
located outside of Rochester. So, there's two shows in our area.

where does ths come from?
Mike is a friend of mine and I have seen some of his rig and talked to
him about the rest
I think I am able to estimate the capabilities of our respective
inventories
the company Mike works for operates regularly a whole level up from the
market I serve
of cousre with my contacts I can manifest about any size show but my
main market is 3000 seat and under theater shows right down to kids
gymanastic meets and elementrary school plays
my biggest show has been about 20,000

George doesn't have crap. He has a very decent rig and does a great
job.
Where we differ from George in mainly in staging and roofs. We
currently have two Thomas 40x40 roof systems (1 - four tower and 1 - six
tower), each with 120K of lighting and 2000 square feet of stage.
Adair Winter
anything like that.. In fact I thought it was rather large.. and if Mike had
2 to 3 times more stuff thats alot.. all I was saying.
Sorry for the confusion.

i have a 8 mix monitor rig of SLS us1290(which also double as Front for
smallish shows)
my real claim to fame is my BIG open space outdoor rig of Community R2 /r.5
speakers that I fly off st24s i can provide even delay free coverage to
about 100 acres circular or two miles of straight line
this is something no body esle is offering in my area
Music is fastly becomeing secondairy to my company
there are just too many people underbidding the few decent shows
good gear is so affordable than anyone can own a concert rig with just a
small bit of dedication
I can actually get hired and retain my contracts without compitition for
large hot rod shows,balloon festival, local running events
set out one genie with a R2 and two R.5 a behringer 802 mixer a powersoft
amp and a cad 22a switched mic at 6 am
then sleep in a lounge chair until it is time to spend 20 minutes picking it
up at 4 pm
go home with 500$ not a bad way to spend a sunday
plus 95% of the work is within 20 miles of my shop
no lights , no monitors, no mixing, one mic(no stand), one cd player,
possibly a 2000 watt generator.

I have to agree in this one, I do a lot of corporate work also.
Granted the rock glam aint there, but it pays better and is easier in
the back than a rock gig.
George, I honestly think you could make more than 5 bills doing this.
I can supply 2 mackie SRM450, a wireless, a small mixer and cd player
for 24 hours unattended. Get it there in a car set it up and tear it
down and walk with a grand. Dude, I'm in freaking Illinois, not NY.
Standard of living here is probably a tach lower than yours. But on
the other hand this is a very large corporate client and I take care
of them. Did the trade show touring thing for a while, talk about easy
money. But, I still go back to the rock for thrills. Rock for me is
like fishing for some people, gets the tension out!

Damn I've done alot of raves! A laptop with a DVD player and a set of
Sony V700's will save your sanity. The raves are OK it's the gun
yeilding hip-hop shows that make me want to invest in some Kevlar!
Pill heads never fight!
But I really can't say squat, I AM a former DJ (ahem, turntablist).
Every now and then I come out of my hole and hit it again. You
sohould see the PA company guys face when I ask for a sound check,
have him stare at the limiters, I run the system up and tell him to
flash his mag at me when I hit limit, then tell him he will never see
them again during my set, AND DONT HIT THEM!
Have you ever seen that!?!?

I call bullshit. You can't possibly be a DJ, cause you know what the word
"limiter" means. Only DJ's who return a blank stare upon the mention of
that word are allowed to wear the 'DJ' button. ;-)
You're gonna have to re-label yourself. Any takers for Chad's new title?
