<P>Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you to. No one has time for the rock star BS. None of the techs backstage care if you're David Bowie or the milkman. When you act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile display that you might think comes with your dubious status. They were there hours before you building the stage, and they will be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get your salary, and you should get theirs. -- Lollapalooza Alumni Henry Rollins </P>

We will start at 1pm. The theater designed by William Rawn is a Merit winner of the USITT architecture awards. Cosmo was involved full time in the design and construction of the building so we will have unique insights on the process from one of our own members.</DIV>

<DIV>It should also be prime leaf peeping season., so plan on converging in Williamstown in on October 15 for an exploration of the new theaters and a chance to get together and have a great time with friends & colleagues.</DIV>
<DIV>The leaf peepers are likely to be out in force so give yourself extra time to get to Williamstown.</DIV>
<DIV>Please let us know soon if you are planning to come (including friends & students) just so we have an idea of how many drinks are needed and how to structure the tour.</DIV>
