in the off season
Thu, 30 Dec 2004, 09:17 pmWell I'm a tech, and I worked almost every day since september to xmas eve. But now that January has hit, and dont get me wrong I'm glad to have some time to relax, but going pretty hard for so long I feel that I get bored quicker. Perhaps always having something to do or think about for 4 months straight has dont this to me.
So to my point, what do other tech's get up to during this quiet period? and how long before you start to get some regular work coming again?
Cheers.

I have followed your philosophy Fi and spent time with my children and family as they grew and developed and did not push them in any direction I wanted them to do, but through his personal choice my son is a third year law student and for relaxation, and as a bonus a paid operator, does live shows ranging from Steve Poltz to pipe bands. He does not listen to Cher normally, I play it for the visual spectacle.
In the future I imagine he will not have too much time for lighting, for the present it is a source of income for text books and he gets paid to watch bands he likes if they come to his venue.
I did not get my two week break as I am in the second week of lighting a two week ballet season so there is work out there if you look for it.
If you get a chance to see the Cher Farewell concert, it was replayed New Years Eve, it has a great range of acts incorporated in it and if you get a chance to see a Bizurcus show in Freemantle they do trapeze and tissue work which is great to watch.
