Hellbound Train
July 24, 2008 | permalink
I was in the great city of Chicago all last week (as was A Lover and a Fighter, though our paths did not manage to cross, sadly) attending a rigging seminar taught by none other than Harry Donovan. Which doesn't mean much to most of you, I am sure, but trust me- as far as my industry goes, he is pretty much the bee's knees. It was pretty damn awesome.
I have been doing what I would describe as medium-ish level rigging (at best) for many years, and a lot of my knowledge is that imperfect kind you get by doing things without having too much in the way of actual theory or fact to back it up. That is, 'I know that works, I have seen it done and done it myself many times, and since this is sort of like that, it ought to work to. Probably. Let's try it and see!' Which is fun and exciting and all, but not necessarily the best way to hang a bunch of stuff over people's heads. Now I have a bunch of math and theory that I can apply. Which I like.
I even got a little time to see Chicago. I saw my dear and long-moved friend the Gemological Goddess, which was quite lovely- it had been well over a year. I ate at a couple of pretty good places, went to Navy Pier and Millennium Park. It was quite a good visit.

i think that's exactly the *best* way to hang a bunch of stuff over people's heads. what's life without the savor of a little mortal danger?
