Dear Constant Reader,
It’s great to surprise the audience. Do not surprise the tech crew.
Talk to the MC, the stage manager, the stage kittens, the lighting guy, the DJ, &c. If they know your needs in advance, you’ll look that much better on stage. You can avoid all sorts of problems by communicating in advance and clearly explaining any special features of your act.
P.S. This was *not* inspired by anything that happened at the Expo — everyone was lovely and communicative.
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
