My Dad says that “everything costs more and takes longer than you think.” He’s right.
Case in point: Prep for last Friday’s show, where a simple “I’ll swap this snake because the fan-end is getting weird, it’ll take about 15-20 minutes,” turned into an hour-long slog through the production equivalent of quicksand and monkey guano.
I spent at last half of the time with my body bent over the console I/O rack, a screwdriver in hand, trying to break off a couple of stuck XLR jack latches…and repeating, as though it were a mantra, “Are you EFFING KIDDING ME?”
