Day 1 Done

Curtains hung along the windows to block the light.

The screen frame being put together.

The screen going up.

The artwork being hung. The artwork created for this theatre was specially painted/designed by Chuck Jones. They're all rip-offs of famous paintings using the Looney Tunes characters.

We actually got everything done that I wanted to today. The good news is that most of the other theatres are done so I get LOTS of help. The bad news is that sometimes they won't freakin' leave. The entire rigging department came up today to help put up the screen. The rigging department is in charge of putting up every screen and curtain at the festival and, more importantly, making sure they don't come tumbling from the sky and clunking someone on the head. They came this morning to put up our screen. It was super crowded in the ballroom for a while. Then, the concessions guys came to set up the concessions stands. Then, the art department came to decide how to completely redesign the concessions banners and paint. There were probably 20 people running around the ballroom and lobby for a little while. The best part for me was running from one person to the other making sure everyone had what they needed and answering any questions. It went well though and we got everything done I had on the list today...except for not being able to hang one set of curtains because we still can't find the cables we need to hang it. I'll either find it tomorrow or have more made.
