Trial by Fire (or sweat)

Wacky Battles Slimed was in full swing of day number two tonight. I think it was the air of wackiness that got to Holden and me, because while sitting in pre-service prep, we decided to switch production roles. He was serving as Technical Director (TD), which runs the switch that puts elements out to the live service, and I was serving as the Computer Graphics (CG) person -which feeds the elements to the TD. The roles are very different and there's lots of little nuggets of information you absorb to run either one. Well we gave each other the crash course in about 30 minutes and proceeded to wipe our sweaty palms on one another "for luck" to kick off the service at 10 seconds out. What a riot.

Thankfully the VBS program is a lot slower running than a typical weekend service, so what better place to just dive in and learn! And thankfully I had a very patient Director (you're the best Papia!) who gave us an environment to learn in. There was lots more focused silence than normal (apparently me having to completely concentrate is a good thing for those that typically have to listen to me yap *lol*)

Once again I love this role - something new, different, and completely challenging thrown my way. Not sure I'm ready for a live weekend service - but hey... there's 3 more days of VBS left!
