conditioned space.
*Because someone asked...

Good news; bad news
I went down to the brewery today to talk to Heidi about the
heat.
Good news is that we decided to move everything inside into the
AC!
Bad news is that the space is a bit smaller so we're going to
be a little bit more packed in...
I talked and complained to everyone I could about the weather,
but in the end, no one wound up doing anything about it.
We'll make it work, and we'll still have a good time!

The military guys would say BLUF (Bottom line up front), So:
time is tight,
be ready to get on stage as quickly as possible,
you will receive a signal when your time is about
over, and
please exit the stage promptly.
OK guys, I had a good conversation with Larry about the flow
of events on Saturday. If you notice from the schedule, there
is no transition time between acts. We want to keep on
schedule as much as possible, so we need to set a hard stop
time and transition as quickly as possible. So:
1) Please get there as early as possible;
2) Check in with me when you get there; I will be near the front
of the stage and carrying a fluorescent orange clipboard. I will
be acting as both MC and stage manager.
3) Check in with Larry Hinkle; he is the sound guy and I have
provided him a list of what you all have said is needed. He will
be the somewhat skinny guy hovering near the mixer and most
likely wearing a Hinkle Ukulele hat.
4) If you can't get to me for some reason, check in with Larry
first.
5) Have whatever you need ready to go on stage before the end of
the previous performance. Check twice, cut once.
6) To keep us on schedule, we need to end each performance on
time (or as close as possible).
7) I will flash my fluorescent orange
clipboard at you when you have 5 minutes left or
time to perform one more song.
8) Please leave time for any standing ovation that may occur
after your performance. ONE callback MAY be allowed if necessary
to avoid crowd rioting, time permitting.
9) After finishing, please take your stuff off stage promptly!
10) Please cool off and have a beer. (Note: You will be inside,
out of the sun, but it will still be HOT. Dress appropriately
and hydrate.)
11) Please have fun!
Any questions?
