You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey do our theater tech types have a good online resource for basic stage lighting terminology? Our band`s worship leader is trying to learn, since we`re building our own edifice and thus, stage. He`s got a book, but it`s a bit over his head.

This is from Amazon which I know you don't use, but you can find the book elsewhere. It's called Technical Theatre for Non-Technical People. I know the author. It's a bit out of date, but a good book.

I've run into a number of blog posts about this freakish monstrosity, so I'm inflicting it on y'all:
