I have a smoke machine for our LED lighting for our band. The other lead singer (besides me) is a former smoker and a wuss about “smoke”, even though these things are completely harmless. But being a team player I agreed to not use it.

But last night I thought I’d give it a try by putting the whole light/smoke thing way off to the side where the movement of the air would push it away so we’d not get it.

No dice. He complained after the first time I used it.

So, his daughter is doing her “singer/songwriter” thing during the break while he’s somewhere else. I wanted to get a good picture of her with the cool lighting affect. He storms over to me very angry and tells me to “KNOCK OFF USING THE SMOKE”. At that point he was no more than a person “in the room”.

He later apologized (but did say it bothers her too), but all I’m thinking is, what a pansie. The whole band is a family, except me. They are super “naturalist” in the way they live and have so many food alergies that they can’t even consider ever eating in a restaurant.

I think it’s psychosomatic. But that’s just me. GMO corn alergy? Yeah, right.

I’m really getting tired of pandering to the lowest common denominator.

You should point up that it’s not smoke but water vapor with a touch of sublimated CO2. Ask him when he developed the allergy to water.

Then find another band to sing with.

The only smoke machines that I've seen used dry ice and water....emitting strictly water vapor...was yours different???
