Have you seen this video?The video above is of some protesters assaulting a location crew outside of the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. To be completely honest, I don't want to give these douchebags the press, but this is ridiculous. This bunch of idiots claims that the location crew was shining their "hot lights" on the protesters. Are these people really that stupid? Why do I have a hard time accepting that there are people THIS STUPID out there?Frankly, I think they are fortunate that these guys' crew brothers didn't level their rude protesting asses for screwing with gear and people ...

In comes Adam DeWitt (@xedmada) to have a beer because I posted my status on GoWalla, and all of the sudden I was on the way over to the Pure Volume venue in Austin to meet up with Craig Burross from High End Systems.That's like a freaking lighting nerd's dream.

Women In Lighting – Take THAT, Y Chromosome!
I have a distinct memory of being 18 years old and working one of my first concerts ever as a hand, and hearing some d-bag say “women can’t climb truss – their boobs get in the way!” That woman gave that scumbag the hardest smack I have ever heard someone get, and rightfully so.@EmLah from the great Twitterverse sent me a link a few days ago, and I think it is awesome.
