Me and thousands like me that work in the live events industry literally devote our lives to the saying, “The show must go on.” It might sound silly to you but it does not to us.

At times we have done the impossible to make sure your live theater, music concert, broadway show, corporate event, or trade show was delivered with excellence. You don’t know us but that’s how we like it.

Teleprompters, engineers, camera operators, lighting designers, audio designers, graphic artists, photographers, technical directors, scenic artists, riggers, stage managers, producers, drafters, special effects persons, prop masters, script writers, and truck drivers, all brought together to deliver your show to you safely and with the highest quality. Every time.

But for the group that was hit hardest the earliest, there is no more show.

The stages are dark.

We still live by the same principle only now with our minds on the show at home. Our focus is now on our families, our children, our bills and our responsibilities.

Watch us now. Now you will see our resilience and strength. You’ll see us solve unsolvable problems. You’ll see us turn to each other to make it happen. We dodge bullets for a living and this will be no different. And just like when we are performing for you, we don’t always know what the solution will be but we know we will find one and the show will go on.

All we want is to be back on the job, doing what we do best for you. And we will be soon.

At your next live event, although you won’t see us, know that we’re there.

You ready to see what we can do now?

Stand by.......

.....and.......

GO.

This is kind of interesting.



The Influenza Pandemic of 1918


The 1918 Influenza Pandemic

The origins of this influenza variant is not precisely known. It is thought to have originated in China in a rare genetic shift of the influenza virus. The recombination of its surface proteins created a virus novel to almost everyone and a loss of herd immunity. Recently the virus has been reconstructed from the tissue of a dead soldier and is now being genetically characterized. The name of Spanish Flu came from the early affliction and large mortalities in Spain (BMJ,10/19/1918) where it allegedly killed 8 million in May (BMJ, 7/13/1918). However, a first wave of influenza appeared early in the spring of 1918 in Kansas and in military camps throughout the US."

Man they shut the whole damn production industry down, right at the start of Spring Music Festival/Film & TV Pilot/Expo and Event seasons.... There are no timeline for any return.... A lot of great people out of work right now (myself included).... Is it a touch dramatic? Yes, but rightfully so.
