The height of cheapness

Re: The height of cheapness
And good riddance. Nothing I despise more than rodents. My neighbor in Texas had an infestation of them and due to proximity so did I. I offered my assistance in eradicating them one day. I had been watching them hole up in a large half rotten Elm in his back yard.
Speaking of cheap, all I took with me was a spade shovel. Best rodent killer ever made.
It wasn't pretty, and I was bit quite a few times. I had a newborn in the house so they had to go. Problem solved. Never saw one after that day.

The new LED "cans" for stage-use are really great. They are SUPER BRIGHT color-changing... and several can be run on one circuit while drawing a very small amount of power. This is a big help when you're trying to do a gig in a small club with limited circuits available on stage. Compare their 30W power consumption to a 150W Par can... and that's a BIG difference. Two 4-lamp "trees" (a typical small light show that a small band might have) would draw 1200W using incandescent PAR lamps... and they're HOT!!! LED cans by comparison need no color gels... so you don't need a lamp for each color.. they're COOL (no heat) and if you used 8 of them.. the total watts would be 240. they also "daisy-chain" making connectivity easy.
I fully agree. While I don't much like the LEDs for household use (seems such an unnatural light), the stage lights are great. No heat, no changing colour filters, really bright, lighweight and versatile.
Our sound guy just changed over to a full digital mixing desk. Uses a small cat.5 data cable & no huge heavy multi-core. Get to the next gig & he just hits the pre-programmed mix and bingo, soundcheck one song and it's all there. Due to an acoustic nuroma (tumor on the acoustic nerve) I need to use in-ear monitors to block out stage noise and the foldback mix is set specifically for me and stays in the desks memory. Sweet.
