Vash is like 9 years old hahah. He's a freshman in High School.

Also, he's Asian, apparently.

JurseyRider734 · 12-1-2005, 04:34 PM

Vash is a lameoid.

**chickendude** · 12-1-2005, 04:51 PM

vash, there's a crater in your chi....
oh wait

**Chromer** · 12-1-2005, 06:14 PM

I thought Vash was a white guy. There I go with silly assumptions. At least I now know who it is who insults me on MS. ROFL

Not a sport, but... Damn near close.

Elipses...

I've never acted, but I've done spotlight, pinrail, lights, sound (my current "occupation"), floor, etc. etc. for like... 15 or 20 shows by now. I've done strike and shop for most of them, as well. This isn't through my school or anything, it's at a local theatre, and I don't get paid. I've done every show the entire year of 2005. I have some insanely awesome stories I could tell about that place.

In other words: Haha noob.

I act and do makeup.

Haha noob.

Acting is for losers. The tech people are really running the show. And we never get any recognition. You guys would be nothing without us, trust me.

**stretchypanda** · 12-2-2005, 11:02 AM

At the college I used to go to, one of the techies hit Miss America '94 on the head with a fly rail before she became Miss America. Apparently she was terrible at following stage directions.

Us tech people are the reason stuff like this still exists. We do some pretty awesome stuff.

Yet there wouldn't be a show without actors. People can do plays without tech crews and just acting--it happens every day. Actors>Crews.

msbrunnettemickey · 12-2-2005, 01:50 PM

I act and i do tech.

I really hope to be in the Spring play 'The King and I'.

But i did tech in the Fall play 'Lend Me a Tenor'.

All we need is a big bit of raised ground to work on. You techies are secondary.

Besides, if you want to do tech stuff, you don't do it for plays. That's for losers who didn't make the audition. Real tech people go into live production - that's where the action is. I can now be switcher, floor manager, video director, director-director, audio, cameraman, graphics, and VCR operator as competently as anyone who does your typical morning show.

In other words: Haha n00b.

**stretchypanda** · 12-2-2005, 02:40 PM

Actually, actors who know how to do tech work rule all.

Have you ever tried striking a set with a bunch of dance majors who don't know what a "strike" is?

jewpinthethird · 12-2-2005, 03:25 PM

I am the butter man at my local theater. Basically, it is my job to ask the actors while they are off stage "would you like some butter?" For some reason actors find this question really unsettling. It takes away from the stress. However, I dont really actually carry any butter with me, so if by chance an actor really does want butter, I am in trouble. Thankfully, "man, I really wish I had a stick of butter" isnt a thought that usually runs through actors' minds inbetween scene breaks.

No, I could live with just a tech/pyrotech display.

4'th July, hells yeah.

**Moogy** · 12-2-2005, 04:27 PM

I was being sarcastic, you know. Actors and crew are equally important to producing a good show. Unless it's one of those ultra arty one man shows that just have a stage things. Those things are usually lame anyway.

Tech people on Broadway get paid ridiculous amounts of money for the profession, but I doubt any of the people on this site will ever make it onto Broadway, heh.

I don't plan on doing this anyway. I'd much rather become a movie director or some such.

It's kind of hard to tell when you're being sarcastic towards me when you always proclaim how much you hate me, rofl.

Anyways, I agree crews are important. Stage crew, lighting, house, makeup, etc...but they wouldn't be there if there wasn't any acting going on...if you know what i'm saying. The people on tech crews who actually know how to do things and aren't just there because they didn't make it in the auditions rock, though.

Watch me. I'll show you, I'll show you all!

shade11 · 12-2-2005, 06:36 PM

Acting is cool in all. But who wants to always be on stage all the time. Thats why I act and I do tech.

P.S. What plays were you in I was in Sound of Music and Othello.
