Yet Again The Amount Of Creativity And Art Being Produced During These Trying Times Blows Me Away. Humans

Yet again the amount of creativity and art being produced during these trying times blows me away. Humans really are amazing.

OMG GUYS YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS, IT'S AMAZING!!!! ROTFLMFAO XD

This is bloody brilliant!!!!

Normally when an Animal Crossing game comes out:

"Awww man! I have to go to work/school/social obligations! I just want to stay at home and play Animal Crossing!"

Mid-March 2020: North America enacts Social Distancing protocol. Events are closed. Businesses are emptied. The public is advised to stay at home.

Covid-19:

You're Welcome

Hey folks. All of ETC’s courses are now free on their website. because of Covid. Go brush up some skills.

why did “people deserve to live” become a controversial thought?

Oof. Even that small conductor riser, right under the curtain line.

The system at Aquarius has a "pull in case of emergancy" lever stage left. Which is fine 99% of the time, but also right where someone might lean or try to squeeze through. It freak mishap triggered once when a pipe fell off the catwalk, hit the deck offstage, bounced, tripped the release, and started running in... In the first minute... Of opening night... For Suessical, if I remember right. The ASM managed to grab the rope line and stop it before it hit the floor, then labourously had to haul it out foot - by - foot. I'm sure it was very interesting as an audience member.

We also used to bring it in on show closing and have the cast sign the upstage side, lots of history there.

Hamilton Place used to do that too, but then everyone realized asbestos was dangerous and they had to chuck it.

Shaw's have little "break in case of fire" boxes with kitchen knives inside to slash the line with. I'm certain there's more to it than that, never seen them come in. But also the mental image of someone filing through a rope with an old dinner blade amuses me.

This is why we say you can’t put anything under the fire curtain. It is basically a large garage door covered in canvas. Life Safety Systems accidentally set ours off while testing during the pandemic shutdown and this is what I found when I went in to check on the building. It crushed a chair underneath the weight. Can you imagine if someone had been sitting there?
