We're lucky here in Iowa City. You never know what will go wrong with tech. Maybe there will be confusion, and the set-up team will have to go without breakfast (that was a long morning). Maybe things will be forgotten in the storage unit. Maybe the storage unit door will come off the track. And then there's last night.
During practice, the light board's power input jack decided to fail, so we were forced to have minimal lighting that nobody could control. Then later, the surge protector on the power strip that the sound board was plugged into started tripping, so there was a scramble to plug some of the stuff in across the room.
Everything was going okay when opening worship started. However, about halfway through the opening set, the sound cut out. Luckily, the Holy Spirit wouldn't let us down, and the crowd never missed a beat, getting ahead of the band for a couple seconds. After some quick work by our drummer and my roommate, they got all the instruments working again, and the rest of the night went without a hitch.
That's why we're so lucky here. Everything that can go wrong with tech might actually happen, but we still have all we need for a great night.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. To update everyone on this post, my foot is still swollen, but still no pain. That's right, my foot has been swollen for three weeks without pain. Weird, huh?
