I was stationed at an AF GSU on an Army base. I was asked to be the sound technician for a theater group.
The director was a complete jerk. I almost bailed on closing night because he wanted to run the sound board (and he screwed it up royaly). I showed up because he wanted me to video tape the show for him.
The stage manager was a friend of the future Mrs Bear and gave her a ticket. She almost didn't show because she had just worked and was tired.
We are both glad we showed up!
That's so nice-thank for the story Grizzled Bear:)
