A Friend of the Arts passes on
I. W. Marks passed away Tuesday. A long time resident of Houston, a business man with a great flair for promotion and a major supporter of the Arts. He gave of his time, his money and his presence to help many organizations become the solid producers they are today.
We offer our condolences to his family and our thanks for giving us such an exceptional member of our community. He will be missed.

Who wants to know?
Judging by the intelligent and articulate responses to the last post, is it any wonder that the quality has reached a new low? The only way that people are able to get away with minimal effort is by allowing ourselves to pretend it isn't happening. We really try to understand what makes the people with any kind of perspective continue to beat their heads against the wall when it would be so much easier to join in and become a drone. Good luck with any kind of aspirations with a vision so constricted it makes constipation look enjoyable.

Great Jim!
Jim you win the award for both the first and most productive comment on the last topic. Training is a great idea Jim. We used to have training of sorts. It was pretty bad.
So todays questions:
Have we ever had a class you learned something from?
Who taught it?
What should we be teaching?
How do you get a Journeyman who already has a position on the active work roster and gets plenty of work watching skilled stagehands work come in and learn basic stagecraft?
How much does a clove hitch degrade the strength of the rope its tied into?

New for 2008!
New for 2008 and the new IA51 Administration:
New blog ownership!
New blog look!
New blog ideas..... help us here, I'm not sure many people realize how much of a commitment keeping something like this running is.
New blog topic: what are the first and most important things we would like to see the new administration tackle? Oh, and how are we as members going to help them.
New blog masters rant: Your all idiots. Except for Cletus, at concerned union headquarters we sort of like him.
Please continue to discuss, slander, and prove my point.

Who's making the calls, part 2
Rumor has it, a certain department head called in two of her 'regulars' to work a show without consulting with management. Management had already called in two senior - qualified people to work the same positions. The senior people were placed on the show but one at a reduced rate position. Neither of these calls went through the Local's office.
Guess it still is, who you know and not how long you have been doing it...

Runoff Elections
Who will win? Who will do the best job? Who should have won? Will the Cowboys go all the way?
(Just kidding about the last question - that went out for J.D.)
