Sweet Steel....
We finally have the steel calls for Madonna. With little more than a week til the production steel in. The calls go out tomorrow. And hopefully by monday I'll be filling the last of the set up calls. The hardest thing is going to be able to come up with enough crew who are willing to climb. The Shows sub grid roof is 23 metres above the stadium floor. I haven't called anyhting this big but I've worked on these types of shows when U2 and Pink Floyd came to to town. And I want everyone who is taking the call to know what they're getting into. Because it was quite the shock when I found out on the stadium floor that I was a high steel crew person, way back then. Now, I'm really comfortable at heights. As long as I'm not carrying around really heavy stuff. The real fear is dropping things and hurting others.
Hopefully, we'll have enough 5 point safety harnesses to equip everyone.
