You remember our discussion of how hard it is for a woman to be accepted in 
sound work (cause it's mostly men.).
Well, looks like it is still here amongst us!  Jeff worked with IATSE (as a 
decorator)  this week and one of the fellers asked him if he had any sound 
experience, "cause we need some big boys like you to muscle around 
equipment". He's 6'3" and 250+ lbs.  The guy does several jobs around town 
and out of town and wanted a couple of extras to work with him (pay scale was 
okay too!)... but the bottom line was more so the size of the couple of 
"extras" rather than their expertise.  Albeit, he wanted to know if Jeff had 
ever run sound and was familiar with setting up equipment; but the biggy was 
"you're big enough to handle the equipment!"  Since the racks have wheeled 
road cases, the cabinets are 15" loaded, that mainly leaves the board(s) 
themselves and it usually takes two folks to move them anyway (unless King 
Kong is around! -chuckle).
Oh, well... Maybe I can get some "consulting" bene's out of it all... Like 
getting in free!  - and NOT have to work the show(s).  But it don't help on 
pay day, does it?
