We rely quite a bit on the various pieces of equipment since we record DVDs of the sermon, do a live Internet stream for those unable to attend, and broadcast live over the radio. We’ve had lots of interesting issues crop up, such as a DVD that played perfectly many times during rehearsals, but skipped like crazy when I hit play during the service. I’ve run sound for numerous funerals now, a school Christmas song production, and ran lighting for our recent Steve Green concert (in which we had one of our stage VGA switchers fail – had to run a line up the balcony into the video booth to get the feed to our video switcher). I find it quite interesting what all fails right before or during critical moments. All it takes is one small brownout to take down our projectors for several minutes…. that’s why our music director still carries a stack of sheet music with him.

A few months ago, I was hosting a bachelor party for a friend of mine. Well, we all went out and everything, but we all wound up back at my place. The best man had hired a couple girls to visit and, er, strip.

I was told three different times that they would be bringing their own boom box.

Guess who showed up with no boom box?

I had just re-organized my home, and did not have speakers hooked up to the computer that was upstairs. Everyone’s yelling for there to be some music, instead of just, well, awkward silence as the girls did their thing, and I am ready to smash the PC in two because it (for the first time ever) won’t recognize the speakers. Just a straight 1/8″ plug, too, nothing magical.

Well, it’s obvious that it won’t work. I try to hook up my laptop into the speaker system of my actual house. That won’t work either, and the laptop falls, and rips the headphone jack apart. It’s still busted; what a pleasant memory from the evening. The screaming and yelling has continued, and I finally hooked my television into my home’s speaker system, and used one of those radio station channels that directv gives you. It was like working on the engines of the Enterprise right before the Project Genesis bomb went off. Success! There was music, finally. The party could enter warp speed.

Haha, no it didn’t, the girls left twenty minutes later and made it home safely. The end. =(
