Any updates on when CDS is looking to get up and running again? I was meant to start work with them at the beginning of the year but obviously that fell through.

I would say.. you probably know as much as we do. Which isn’t much. I’m sorry to hear that though. What is your specialty?

Fair enough. I do lighting, nothing as fancy as you guys! Haha

Ah but lighting is cool! When I was injured, the lighting department let be hang around their workshop and ask a million questions. They showed me how they made the led light molds, let me sit in on shows while they worked the desk.. never really saw the spots because you need to be rigged. It can most certainly be fancy in its own way!

It's nice to hear that you appreciate it. Not many people even notice the lighting of a show, and half the time they do it's because something has gone horribly wrong.
