Ah… the Liars and Lunatics gala! A week ago, we were preparing for it. And for those of you poor souls who couldn’t make it, you missed being part of a great audience! We were very pleased with how everything turned out… despite the rain.
Although, at 6:30 pm on Friday the 26th, things didn’t look quite so rosy.
In fact, we had a bit of a scare with the surround sound system at the Helen Mills Theater. We brought the DVD, newly burned and tested. Before letting in the big crowd gathering outside, we did a quick test on the sound system. As we watched the opening sequence, something seemed amiss.
There was music. There were sound effects. But, wait! Where was the dialogue?
How could we have missed that when we tested out the DVD earlier?
Well, after the initial panic (some of us were more panicked than others), we realized that the center speaker wasn’t hooked up properly. So, after some fiddling, we got the surround sound up and working properly.
And, thankfully, our worst nightmares were not realized!
