So I'm just back from that show with the English company... The schedule never really did materialize... That really didn't effect me too much, because quite honestly, the production company was so irate with the scenic company that we could do no wrong as the lighting company... Not one to miss an opportunity to develop a new client under favorable conditions, I launched right in to stirring up their rage against the scenic company... Now, really, it was well deserved rage as the scenic company not only did a deplorable job, but they charged almost double what my really high safe guess would be as to what I would have bid the show at... Did I mention that it took them days to install a set that my normal crew would put in in either 1 day, or an overnight call?... Oh, and that they had 12-15 people working there every day to what I would have done with 8-10?... Yea... I made damn sure that company is never going to hear a British accent again... That call will come to us... How am I so sure?... Well they sent home the client's podiums with us... That doesn't seem like a huge deal, but that's the foot in the door we need... This should be the beginning of a long, and mutually profitable relationship...
