... you agree to help out a friend on a low budget thing, and when you're wrapping the gear, you have trouble fitting the correct pieces into the Kino Coffin. You wonder why you're having such a hard time with such a simple task* when you realize it's been years since you've packed one because most shows you've been on recently have Kino carts instead.

* Simple in the sense that it's common knowledge for
those who work all the time in low budget stuff. In reality, it can be
like a game of Tetris just to get everything to fit back in there, only
less fun.

Ha, I'm on the other side of that. I have yet to see a kino kart of set.
That's why you always carry a sawzall and duct tape... and have a friend that will swear you were across town at the time on another job :)
or if your show has several moving head lights (yay dmx and a real budget for lighting)
or your show has a honey wagon and you don't have to walk down to coffee shop, use the location bathroom which is being used as a set, port-a-potty, or find a darken alley way.
or if lighting dept gets to approve/PO their own orders (ie you don't have to run everything past the higher ups of production to get it approved). I met a guy who works like that frequently this past week...they just give him a stack of POs).That is some kind of awesome.
Phillip - You'll get there one day!
Ed - I left my sawzall in my other pants. :)
Anon - Those are always fun... Until you de-rig them and consistently try to put them back in their cases backwards. :)
Niall - Productions that expect you to use a dark alleyway (or desert, woods, bushes, etc) obviously don't have many females on their crew. I've been on such shows and were grateful for nearby gas stations and Starbucks.
Anonymous - That's pretty bitchin'.
