Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2004 14:49:57 -0800 Ah, I think I was unclear. I'm talking about during the run of a show, which for us is about two weeks. The rest of the time it is in a very nice bag in storage. We do have a chain, but we found that it doesn't keep the scrim tight enough and then it doesn't look good. So we add a pipe to the chain pocket. So, my revised question is: for the two weeks or so that it's in the air, am I causing more harm than I'm preventing by flying it up out of reach at night? --jamesf ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2004 19:04:52 -0500 Subject: Re: How much does scrim stretch?

Broadway shows run for years and years, and nobody flies anything in to the deck overnight. If stretching or getting snagged is a problem and there's nothing on the floor in the way of it, they'll use wire guides down the sides. - John McKernon ------------------------------ Message-Id: <6.2.0.14.0.20041225210303.01c75c20 [at] mail.kingphilip.org> Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2004 21:22:55 -0500 From: "H-High-S (Ferreira, Jr.)" Subject: Re: "at LEAST an ATF permit" > Date: Fri, 24 Dec 2004 11:57:22 > From: CB > Subject: Re: "at LEAST an ATF permit" >we've probably all got files somewhere. I figure mine will be boring reading for someone 50 years from now: "She went to college a lot, got married, had a > kid, drank rarely, laughed often, loved music and theatre, opened a small business to make ends meet, and shared her knowledge with others." While everyone here can surmise about the existence of an FBI file on each of them, I KNOW for certain that I have one, courtesy of a special agent I met for a debriefing back in 1985. After I arranged for a second secretary from the Soviet UN mission to speak at Rhode Island College on the subject of US/Soviet relations in '83, I neglected to let the local FBI in on the act. After the speaker came, spoke and left, I got a call from the local SAC reaming me out for not alerting them and threatening an investigation. Two years later, when Gorbachev came to power, I invited the Soviet mission press secretary to come and talk about glasnost and perestroika (no, I am not referring to Angels in America). This time, I contacted the local FBI office, was interviewed by a special counterintelligence agent and given the go-ahead to hold the talk. Afterwards, he re-interviewed me and after answering his questions, I asked about my file. Officially, I am on record as having unauthorized contact with senior Soviet officials and the agent warned that if I ever wanted to go into politics, my file could be obtained under Freedom of Information and used against me in a campaign. How's THAT for an on-topic but non-list purpose winters tale? Joe Ferreira Joseph J.
