Thanks to a combination of summer volunteer work and some connections made through school, I'm now working as a freelance sound technician for my college. Pay's decent (much better than the minimum wage of my normal job), and I may get to work with some relatively famous people. Coming we have:

Brian Brushwood (stage magician, currently touring with Brooks and Dunn)

Kivi Rogers (comedian: Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, SNL, Cosby Show)

Chinua Hawk (acoustic guitarist)

Buzz Sutherland (comedian: the "DuckJob" man, 5-time college comedian of the year)

and others. All I have to do is go through one training session on the board used on campus and not screw up :D . I don't know which events I'll be working, but any of them sound cool to me.

The what? Je ne comprende pas :) .

And yeah, I'm a techie. Always have been. Used to run curtains for shows in high schools, because I had memorized the entire series of 40-odd ropes and could run them in the dark. I think my cousin's going to hurt me, though, because she's the theater tech major and she can't find a job right now (although we are in different cities).

Congrats Dark!

The sad part is that now you're an important cogwheel in the system but nobody sees behind the person who stands in the spotlight. :cry:

At least it pays well. :wink:
