I also take my PDA or a computer on the road.  Both include a list of
the McMaster-Carr product numbers for items that I regularly use (so
that I don't have to take the catalog).  They also store the phone

Particular interest to all will be the application of the fact sheet 
that says:

"Technologists and technicians, such as engineering technicians, 
ultrasound technologists, licensed veterinary technicians, avionics 
technicians and other similar employees are not exempt under Section 
13(a)(1) from the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the FLSA 
because they generally do not meet the requirements for the learned 
professional exemption."

http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/fairpay/fs17o_technicians.htm


"Recently, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia 
confirmed that the standard duties tests for the administrative 
exemption of the final regulations are substantially the same as those 
in the old regulation."

http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/fairpay/fs17r_geico.htm


Have meeting on adgenda with the Portland office of DOL to review
industry specifics.

I could off one to ya for pretty cheap, unless the project is to make one

the exact same configuration.  Tell the student that a sacrifice might be

I for one am looking forward to it.  On OPB, following "Hidden Art of 
Hollywood" is the Busby Berkeley program, "Going Through the Roof" - also 
looking forward to that (it's been run before).

One of my favorite 'inspirational' books is called "Screen Deco," and 
highlights a lot of Cedric Gibbons' grand Hollywood sets.  In watching the 
promos for "Hidden Hollywood" and the Busby Berkeley special, I recognize a 
lot of the sets.  (I also like going through that book and spotting the same 
furniture and set pieces used over and over in those movies of the 30's.)

For 3 & 5 year olds I would also recommend Magic Kingdom as the park of choice.  Wishes, the new
nightly show is absolutly amazing.  For the older members of your troupe I'd recommend taking in
EPCOT as you'll be smack dab in the middle of the International Food & Wine Festival which is,
hands down, my favorite annual event at WDW.  They have activities for the kids as well but I
can't speak to those because I've never brought children along.

you can get a lot of information and recommendations at http://www.intercot.com/  The site is
populated by hundreds of die hard Disney fans.  I usually go there for the latest information and
I work at MGM.

If you want other suggestions you can also email be directly.  I'd be happy to see what I can do.

Dear Jon,
        I took a full semester class in Art Direction from Cedric Gibbons
30+ years ago. He pointed out, as you do, that the 'adaptive reuse' of
set pieces was prevalent. One of the perks of going to State-Run
Colleges in Southern California was THAT class, as well as Mike Westmore
teaching Make-Up Design, Donald Dortort (Producer of 'Bonanza') teaching
Television Production, a MAJOR Cinematographer from one studio teaching
Cinematography, the head of the Lighting Department of another teaching
Cinematic Lighting Design (yes, Design, not Gaffer-work), the Editor of
'Green Acres' showing us editing techniques, hands-on with Moviolas (we
could then tune in a few days later and watch on TV how he edited the
episode) and other Oscar and Emmy-winners teaching their specialties, all
for under $20 per unit! The key to getting these people was that there
were student assistants to take roll and perform all the administrative
tasks, so all the professional had to do was to show up and show us the
tricks of the trade one night a week for 18 weeks or so. One of the most
startling events happened one night at a Cinematography class, when we
walked in the studio to discover over a dozen 35mm Panavision camera
packages with full lens kits and all accessories set up, so each student
could work 'hands on' a separate camera. At the time, the complete camera
packages were insured for $250,000+ EACH (Panavision only rents
equipment- the cameras were not for sale). This 'name' instructor
apparently called in a few favors, and the students were the
beneficiaries.

So...
I'm a Schrade person, who has a DeWalt and am a die hard Mac fan... but 
I'm also a sound guy...

patterns also relate to relationships:

Sound guys + dancers (or actresses)

male Electricians + SM's or ASM's (female or male)

female SM's and male carps

Wardrobe + anybody that can put up with their wackiness (both male and 
female)

the list goes on...

my "must have" tools that are ALWAYS with me when traveling are:

adjustable wide-jaw crescent wrench

Robo-Grip (TM) angled jaw pliers (you never know)

Multi-tool (mine is a Schrade, that I love)

Greenie (mini-screwdriver)

Bluie (mini-philips screwdriver)

roll of e-tape

roll of label tape

at least 2 or 3 Sharpies

BUT, if you're a TD on tour, you technically shouldn't need ANY tools 
on your person.  Any tools needed for the set/lx/etc. should be 
provided in the package (truss wrenches, coffin keys, etc.).  The most 
often used tool I've ever seen a TD/Head Carp use is a mobile phone!

joke?  A sound guy who dates dancers and acresses, uses a PC, DeWalts, 
and would have a Wave if he didn't get a perfectly good Gerber from a 
former TD?  What's the punchline?

What, am I all of the sudden some sort of stereotype or bad techie joke?  A
sound guy who dates dancers and acresses, uses a PC, DeWalts, and would have
a Wave if he didn't get a perfectly good Gerber from a former TD?  What's
the punchline?

You can't be the stereotype for this joke because your name isn't 'Mac'....

    The only problem I had with the show was that it was far too short. I
would have loved to have seen more of the renderings from Menzies. As it
was, it seemed like all they wanted to talk about was Gone With the Wind.
What about Thief of Bagdad? Or Invaders From Mars? Same with the other
designers.
    As one of them rightly pointed out, you need a string of films, all
consistently good, to make a great designer. I just wish they had more time
to explore the topic.
