Friday

Hey guys,
My job is so cool, very gracious, I just asked for Friday off today and the boss is totally cool with it.  I am going to be up at the church around noon time Friday (need to sleep in to recharge my battery).
 
Let me know if you can be there!  We'll probalby work through the evening and be back Saturday morning around 9ish AM.  Here's some task items (more for me to remember):
 
-Booth Setup (the whole shabang, but primarily setting up overhead PC first....oh those priorities!).  Should be ready for us tonight at 6pm (praise the Lord)
-Camera 2 finish - half way done at the moment
-Camera 1 Power, and 3 need some touch ups
-Tonight we'll be doing lighting, but need to still add the lights to the truss (once it's setup) and also connect our scan spots.  We might be short XLR cable!
-Hopefully James can help get to the main projectors to focus them.  While he's doing the lighitng I will probably work on getting the overhead setup.
 
James, let me know if I missed anything other than the stage screens, which I can only imagine you won't get to until Saturday.
 
By the way, tested the projector lines for the mains....they work!!!!!!!!!  Just not at the same time at the moment (euhhh).

Hi All,
Thank you so much for all of you that have been helping in this move.  I've been trying to take some pictures in the midst of everyone's hard work.  Check them out here..

We are days away from our first service in the new building.  Still much to do.  We'll hopefully start setting things up in booth on Monday and first things are lighting and main projectors.  If we can get those going, we can support the main service.

Monday and Tuesday, Milan will be available during the days.  If you want to help during the day, please give him a call. 512-670-6459

I'll be there Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evening, starting at 6 PM.  Saturday we need to just plan on scheduling the start of day at 11 AM.  Then 6 PM is new service!  If possible, regardless of if you are scheduled to serve that evening, please join us for the "big day".

Let me know if you plan on coming up.

Thanks,
Randall

Gents,
The media team will be up at the new site on Saturday at 9 AM. James Timmins will be there working on the plans for equipment install as we begin to lay out the cabling. We also plan to continue Sunday afternoon, perhaps 3 PM or earlier.

Outstanding Items:

  • Qty 8 - ETC Black Source 4 Ellipsoidal 19 "Spot Lights"
    • Haven't heard that these have been ordered yet.
  • Qty 8 - DMX-4
    • I believe we have ordered 4 but the additional 4 have not been ordered (have not seen the first four come in)
  • DMX Lighitng Cable
    • Still working on the solution, need to add to the budget for long ones, say about $200
  • Qty 1 - Da-Lite Screen - Have not heard that this has been ordered, ETA?
  • Camera Monitor extenders in process (thanks guys)
  • Spoke with Josh, he said he would move the stuff in the staged prayer room, for media and sound this week (I believe he mentioned Thursday). This will give us the ability to install this weekend
  • There will be some runs to various stores for nuts, bolts, unistrut, etc. Shall I keep in touch with Darren concerning the expenses? I have a church credit card.

let's drive.........

Media UNinstallation Continues

Hey gang,
We pretty close to being done with uninstalling the equipment at Parkfield.  Mostly we need to work on the booth stuff, tear it out and pack it.  But we also need to pack things not necessarily needed for the new setup, just need to work on things while we wait for the new site to be ready for us.

Schedule:

Thursday Sept 6th 6pm-8:30pm - Packing at Parkfield
Saturday Sept 8th, 1pm-5:30ish - TBD - Default is packing at Parkfield, but we hope to get in the new building too, so I WILL LET YOU KNOW
Sunday Sept 9th, after 2nd Service - Finish any equipment needed to pack at Parkfield.

Let me know when you can make it.

Thanks,
Randall
