Hospitality Rider

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:26:03 GMT

I've seen many a rider in my time here at the Tolbooth, nothing quite like the famous "Bowl of smarties with all the brown ones removed", but we've had a few doozys over the years, but this one is unique... Whilst not demanding at all compared to most riders, it is a wonder to read, so good I felt I had to share it... Enjoy!

T-Model Ford and GravelRoad
Rider 2009
Thank you for your booking T-Model Ford and GravelRoad. In this rider you will find a stage plot, input list and hospitality list.
Below is some information that is very important when dealing with T-Model Ford and GravelRoad:

1. First and foremost, T-Model Ford is almost 90 years old and should always be treated with every bit of respect due a gentleman his age. Please ensure that your employees, staff, security and any contracted workers (i.e. stage hands) are aware of his age and therefore act professionally and respectfully.

2. T-Model may require assistance with stair cases, even short flights of stairs. The most common stair encounters are to and from the stage. Please take precautions to ensure that these areas are clear and well lighted when T-Model is accessing them. If your venue has stairs that are in excess of one flight, please inform the tour manager or Marty Reinsel upon arrival. Long
stair cases may require the assistance of your staff.

3. T-Model should not be directly approached concerning scheduling, money, time, or any other mundane or business aspects of the performance. These matters should be discussed with the tour manager or with T-Model's drummer and liaison Marty Reinsel who has power of attorney concerning T-Model's health.

4. Please ensure that T-Model has a private, clean and well lighted backstage area or green room. If one is not available, please section off a private area of the venue where T-Model can remain comfortable before and after the performance. If your backstage area is only assessable via stairs, please inform the tour manager or Marty Reinsel upon arrival.

5. T-Model's performances often exceed the contracted 75 minute set. If the performance is in risk of exceeding curfew, please communicate this matter to the tour manager or Marty Reinsel. T-Model should never be approached directly concerning this matter (see no. 3).

6. Following the performance, T-Model will often visit the merch table to sign autographs. Depending on the size and nature of the crowd, we may require some security assistance. This is primarily to ensure that T-Model is not hurt, knocked down, or violated by a inebriated or overzealous fan. This is primarily out of respect for his age, not necessarily his status as a
performer. Again, please ensure that your employees, staff, security and contractors are aware
of T-Model's age.

Our primary concern is the physical and psychological well-being of a 90 year old gentleman who has lived a difficult life and struggles with day to day health problems.

1. Southern food is appreciated.
2. Proteins: Chicken, Pork, &/or Beef - everything must be boneless (T-Model Ford has
dentures).
3. NO CASHEWS OR EXOTIC NUTS (peanuts are ok). T-Model Ford has food allergies to many
nuts.
4. Veggies/Fruit - Fresh Vegetables or Fruit should be provided.
5. T-Model Ford loves Vanilla (soft serve) Ice Cream, if possible ....ice cream sandwiches are a
suitable substitute.
6. If a Full meal is not able to be provided, a food buyout ($15/person) should be available to
the band.
7. Beverages: One bottle of whiskey (Jameson or Jack Daniels) should be provided to the band.
NO ALCOHOL IS TO BE GIVEN DIRECTLY TO T-MODEL DUE TO HEALTH REASONS.
8. Bottled water should be provided (equivalent to 12 bottles).
9. 100% fruit juices and Coca Cola should be available for T and the band.
10. Up to 10 towels (not bar towels) should be made available to the band for use during performance.

Quality Food

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 00:16:05 GMT

My dog mooches for everything... I've never seen anyone so optimistic... after dinner she'll go through to the kitchen, just in case some part of dinner has fallen into her dish...

Tonight... was a bit short of time, so had a KFC... Doggie smelt it when I got home, and proceeded to head off to bed without mooching at all...

I fear this says something about fast food in general... :)

Anyone know any re-enactment peeps?

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 17:40:28 GMT

My mate works for the TV show 'Rory and Paddy's Great British Adventure' and they're looking to do an episode on Battle Re-enactment for the next series. Does anyone have any contacts I can point her at? They need an event that runs between January and April too, as that's when the filming needs to be done.

Got myself a Blackberry and it looks pretty good. Assuming this works, can now post and read livejournal whilst bored at work... Isn't technology wonderful...
Of course... Being a boy, I immediately chucked the manual into a drawer, so there is rather a lot that I have no clue how to do, but am getting there slowly...

Yup...am still geeky

Spotted an advert for cheap fuel today... Whilst perusing this, noticed they specialise in 'Elf Lubricant'... I giggled like the geek I am... *hangs head in mock shame*

Bunting...

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 09:17:04 GMT

Was an interesting weekend at work... Had a really stroppy conference customer come in and have a rant about her event which is on tomorrow. Apparantly the communication has been appaling, which to be fair, is true... She's listened to the bits she's interested in, and completely ignored everything else we said... Tomorrow could be a fun day...

The rest of Friday night was a gig by the Brothers Zamiskovci, a Slovakian folk band... A very bizarre gig, topped in my humble opinion, by their finale of the first half song, a rousing Slovakian version of "You canny throw your granny off a bus"... I kid you not... Thankfully, Saturday nights gig was surprisingly good, so wasn't all bad.

Our Arts Officer foolishly told me last week that she keeps giggling everytime we say the word 'bunting'. Normally, bunting doesn't crop up much in my everyday conversation, but we've got loads of it in the building ready for St Andrews day. As a wee treat, I've decorated her office this morning with lovely Saltire bunting *grins* Will see shortly how she takes it...

Hugs for all, and bum squeezes where appropriate :)

The end of the financial year...

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:16:52 GMT

One of the joys of working for a local authority (using the term in its loosest possible sense of course), is this time of year. Everyone is trying to balance budgets and spend any excess money to ensure that they not only don't lose it, but don't have it removed from their budget for next year. Completely stupid way of working IMHO, and a complete waste of tax payers money (ie mine...), but what can you do?
So we have the bosses running round ordering us to buy 'stuff'... Now some of it will be nice to have, some of it is even essential, but unless it will be in the building by Friday, then we can't have it. Not terribly handy when most of our suppliers deal in 14/28 day delivery periods... Ho Hum. Of course, the big boss knew that we'd have excess money back in November, and we drew up a list of wanted goods back then, but have had to shelve many things because he's waited till the last week to okay any spending...pillock. We're now at the "Just buy things... don't care what... but we need this money spent" stage... I'm currently looking into buying a work pet (a goat, a snake or a golden eagle are the preferred choices at the moment) and a man sized shredder... Who'd have thought spending money could be so rubbish :(

Snow and Travel don't mix...

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 13:46:41 GMT

After leaving home at 10 this morning for my 45 minute drive to work, finally got here 3 and a half hours later... Still, beats being at work *grins* And now... half my working day is gone before I start *cheers* I love snow!

Wheelchairs...

Tue, 12 Dec 2006 17:53:06 GMT

Thankfully, my work has no pantomimes on at this time of year, but for the next 3 days and nights, we do have a Xmas-ish kids show in. Tech-wise, was all arranged and planned well in advance, and bar one slight mishap (cleverly arranged by their management, our management, and a suddenly leaking roof), everything is all set for the first show, and the cast and stage manager (Mmm...blond totty) have gone for dinner.
But...
Have just found out that 'da boss' has decided to give over tomorrows matinee to a load of community groups. 'Good call' you may say, and indeed, tis a nice gesture. However... he's given away 100 tickets to 8 different elderly groups (all for the same show), without thinking that elderly groups are somewhat likely to have patrons in wheelchairs. While normally this is not a problem, having a fully DDR compliant building, there is a physical limit to how many wheelchairs we can actually safely have in the auditorium, and that is 7. After some frantic phonecalls upon having this pointed out to him, we've found that no one can be exactly sure how many people they are bringing, but we're currently sitting at 7, possibly 8 wheelchairs. While he has said he will sort it one way or another tomorrow, I have visions of coming in to work tomorrow to find a huge pile of poo poo sitting on my desk...
Roll on next week when work finally quietens down for a bit...

Bah Humbug...the revenge

Tue, 28 Nov 2006 12:20:46 GMT

The battle is lost...

Artistic Director caved in this morning and decided box office was looking miserable and dark and needed a Xmas tree to brighten it up. I blame John, the Production Assistant, who was at Box Office at the time. He was looking miserable (as anyone who gets forced onto box office invariably does) and it was dim because he hadn't turned on the lights...

The Xmas tree is now up and being decorated as I type. However, I have declined Nikki's generous offer of making me the Xmas fairy as the one in the box office is a bit crap...

Bah Humbug!

Bah Humbug...

Fri, 24 Nov 2006 13:47:38 GMT

After working Stirling's Xmas Lights turn on last night (8 hours standing in the cold and wet), the talk of work has today turned to Xmas trees... Currently the building stands divided between those who don't want it up yet (all men...), those who want it up now (all women...) and those who don't really give a monkeys either way (a mix of men and women...). As a member of the "FFS it's November!!!" crew, I have rallied support to keep the Xmas tree in its box for a while longer, and have convinced the boss that this is a good plan. There are now emails flying all over the place about this in a most fun way. My main advantage in this ongoing saga is that I'm the only person in the building who knows where the tree and decorations are stored, but one of the techies coming in to do the gig tonight wants the Xmas tree up, so I reckon I'll come in tomorrow to find my work has gone all festive... Bah Humbug!

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Monday I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). Last Sunday I helped mind_expander hide a body (-173 points). Last Saturday I put gum in sharp_tenebre's hair (-12 points). Last Thursday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole littlemiscowboy's purse (30 points). In March I donated bone marrow to void_kitty in a life-saving procedure (300 points).

Overall, I've been nice (146 points). For Christmas I deserve a Lego set!

Sincerely,
docduvall

Cool! I get lego! *well chuffed*

A good night at work...

Wed, 01 Nov 2006 23:56:41 GMT

Tonight's event at work... A play put on by the Stirling University Drama Society (SUDS...). Downsides... They wrote it themselves... it's a student group (ie show budget of -£3.50)... It's AmDram theatre... Put them all together, and I was expecting a rough night...

Instead... Very well written play... Used AV and lighting to create scenes, and just used minimal props... was still Amateur, but hey... all AmDram is...

All in all, was a good day at work. Had our Arts team's kiddies music workshop on tonight as well, which is always a nightmare, and was again, but we expect that now... little shits. In the main Auditorium however, much more fun. Pretty straight forward tech set-up which is always good, though our data projector had a little tantrum, but was fine after a little tlc thankfully. Had nothing to do during the show, as their tech did lights and sound and was pretty good, and nice and relaxed, so just let her get on with it. She was totty too, always a bonus :) The show itself could have used a few more rehearsals in bits, but was a really funny well done show. Some nice interplay between the two leads, and the baddie was fantastically over acted, was brilliant. Had some nice fights in it too, couple of nice sword fights and possibly the best stage fight I've ever seen, a beautifully choreographed, full on Jet Li martial arts bonanza (complete with combat rolls) with the 2 actors armed with wooden spoons and frying pans. Was absolutely superb, done totally dead pan, and the audience were loving it.

Back to normal tomorrow sadly, some as yet unknown tech stuff at one of the community centres (could be bloody anything, no one seems to know what the hell is going on...), followed by set up for a huuuuuge conference on Friday. Will be a day from hell with some very high maintenance clients who have no idea what they want, but they've got an event company in, and the girl that runs it is fabulous totty, so might not be too bad. Not that I'm only concerned about totty you understand, not at all... well... not entirely... well... *gives up while the going is bad*

Still, can't complain... the way the rota has worked out has left me with a three day weekend, which is totally unheard of, so am looking forward to that muchly :)

Take care all *huggles tightly*

Work...

Sat, 28 Oct 2006 08:50:52 GMT

Ahh work... you cannae beat it... Well, you can, but in true Lachlan fashion *sniffs*, beating work with a stick does not get you out of it :(

Last night's local band night... what a treat... Big crowd, but sadly contained a guy who's done a gig here before, and is a complete twat with a drink in him. Been told he's alright when he's sober, but I've yet to experience that... Kind of hoping the rest of his band might take him in hand, as my lovely boss told him in no uncertain terms that he was highly unlikely to get another gig with us, something we hope will prompt his band mates into taking action :)

But for the actual bands that played last night... One was pretty good, one was alright, and the third... Gah... To be a good frontman in a band, you have to walk a very fine line between showmanship and just being a complete wank. Sadly, this guy was several miles deep into wankdom... :)

Winter Parliament

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 08:13:58 GMT

My first event as organiser over, and feeling pretty chuffed with it all. Got way more people than we thought which was great, and feedback from the event looks good so far. Sadly, even the mighty Ancestral powers of the one and only Vadek Cain, all hail his magnificence
"VadekvadekvadekvadekCaaaaaiiine" could not dispatch the rain (I blame Meldir myself, had to be his fault...), but other than that, had a great weekend. Though, staying up drinking till 6.30am was just silly, but was good to just let it all hang out and have fun, even if it did leave us rather short of time (and sleep) on the Sunday. Best bit for me had to be Duvall's fan mail. I knew something was planned, but had no idea what, and the mail was fantastic! Will probably post up some of it on the ooc bit of the Unicorn forums if Lauren has no objections, as her work really does need shared with the world :) Will need to start composing replies and..erm... signing pants and get them sent back to that rag of a paper :)

Am glad the organising bit is over now though, and I can get back to using my spare time for something other than event paper pushing, though not sure if Warcrack really counts as a better use of free time :)

Fri, 01 Sep 2006 17:52:51 GMT

Got yet another one of these spam emails saying the usual nonsense about my account being hacked and to click here and give away my bank details... Uhu... Looked at this one a bit more closely as it actually had my address in the email (though an old one...) and wondered what would happen if I replied. I'm guessing my email account (which I'm closing soonish) will suddenly be drowned in even more spam junk than it is already. Shame, really wanted to send a copy of their email back with red pen marks everywhere showing spelling and grammar corrections... but then... I went to a private school, and have never quite managed to have that bit of me beaten out...

The joys of work

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 08:16:46 GMT

Why is there always at least one work colleague who's a complete useless twat? No matter who leaves, we always have at least one twat who stays or gets replaced by another twat. Currently, we're doing pretty good, only have 2 (not including the big boss who is obviously a twat as I work for a local authority, where you are promoted and promoted till you go one step too high and suddenly are too incompetent to do the job properly and so that's where you stay... what a great system...).

The main problems I have at work are problem solving, which I don't mind too much, unless its problems caused by other people. Then it's somewhat annoying... "Ooops... I shouldn't have done xxxx (insert cock-up here)", "No... but then I've only told you you can't do this six or seven times, so obviously I don't expect it to sink in quite yet..."

Currently, I'm having lots of fun with one our aforementioned twats. This twats main problem seems to be the fact she is a lazy cow who is incapable of doing anything other than moaning about how hard her job is, and whining about how she's got so much to do and no time to do it. I have gotten close to telling her that if she didn't spend so much time moaning and whining, she'd probably have more than enough time to actually do her own job rather than expecting others (usual my team...) to bail her out. She's got an exhibition that starts on Saturday, so is currently at fever pitch and practically foaming at the mouth. She needs a pc to use as part of the exhibition and so approached me about 6 weeks ago to see if she could borrow one of our office ones. "Sure", I said, "We can probably cope without one for a day or two, how long do you need it for?". "Hmmm... well the exhibition runs from the 17th June to the 26th of August, so you'd need to deliver it the day before, and then pick it up the day after.". "Riiiiight... Erm...no... If you want one for that length of time, you'd need to go talk to the IT Department and see if they'll lend or hire you one". 6 weeks later, and I get a call from her assistant yesterday saying she needs a pc for her exhibition and I've to organise getting her one from IT for by the latest, this Friday. *sighs*... IT can sort me out a pc no problem at all (one phone call... how fecking hard was that to make, but as it'll be me that has to pick it up (obviously...can't expect her to do it), I'll need to sign for it, and therefore become responsible for anything that happens to it. Hmm... not too keen on that. Added to this, she needed some tech help setting up her exhibition, "Not a problem, when do you need it for?". "I'm not sure... either Wed or Thurs of this week or Wed or Thurs of next week.". So talked with my boss, and she booked in the dates and said yes, we'll help her, but she needs to let us know asap when she needs help, so we can rota staff accordingly. Said twat waits till my boss goes off on holiday and then comes back to me and says "I need a tech for all 4 of the days"... *sighs*... And as my boss is on holiday, I don't have the authority to tell her what I really think, and can't even tell her no... *sighs*

Roll on next Wednesday, freedom for 2 weeks and much huggage and drinking with good friends, with bits of larpy type fighting thrown in for some exercise in the fresh air. Can't wait!

Art with a silent 'F'

Thu, 18 May 2006 18:11:34 GMT

I knew I shouldn't have complained about our experimental music festival... as if by magic, one of the bands that will be playing were rehearsing in our auditorium last night and one of the musicians (using the term in its loosest possible sense of course) decided that their performance (again using the term most loosely) would be greatly enhanced if he were to play the inside of our gorgeous studio grand piano with 2 heavy percussion beaters. A short time later, one fecked piano, cheers mate...
We bought the piano when the building opened 5 years ago at a very good deal of £8k (now retailing at £14k) and every pianist who has come in has commented on how lovely a piano it is and what a great sound it has. The company that sold us it, and maintain and tune it, are (like us), somewhat precious about 'their baby' and have said for years that we shouldn't let experimental musicians (loose...term...see above) play about inside it as it can damage the piano and for 5 years our arts team have scoffed, saying that these are all professional musicians (usual disclaimer) and they know what they're doing. The piano companies first report on the state of our baby is that they've never seen a piano that badly damaged from use and was the musician (you know the score by now) a complete and utter moron. They've also said that it could take a few weeks to repair, possibly at great cost, and it may never be quite the same piano again. As the arts team are now walking around quietly looking somewhat shamefaced, and I'm waiting for someone to make a comment, 'they' in their ultimate wisdom (wisdom... read as musician) are getting a different piano specialist in, in the vain hope that he'll say "No no, give me 20 mins and it'll be right as rain!". I shall therefore hold my 'told you so's and my 'you bunch of useless feckwits' until we see the result tomorrow.
Sadly this will not mean the cancellation of said cack festival, so shall still have to miss the Heartlands, but will allow me over the next fortnight or so to use the terms 'pretentious wank' and 'Art with a silent F' most loudly and within earshot of said artistic team.
Twats...

Thu, 18 May 2006 14:54:25 GMT

Am now firmly moved into to my new house, though still not quite unpacked. I seem to have far too many books, so will need a trip to B&Q for some bookshelves I thinks. Assuming work eases up enough to let me actually go shopping... well... late start today, so could have gone, but have frittered the day away on the pc, doing wee odd jobs, and blabbing to people, as well as telling 2 telemarketing people to politely sod off... may give up on the politely next time.

Strange noises coming from my car... never a good sign, and MoT is up at the end of the month, so seriously swithering over getting a new shiny car... well... maybe not new... and any car's shinyness would always pale when placed beside Duvall's cape, so shiny probably isn't a prerequisite either... it would need to be a car though... almost definately...

Our annual 'experimental' music festival is once again stopping me from going to the Heartlands. Really don't see what all the fuss is about myself, we've been doing at least 4 or 5 events a week for what seems like ages now, so can't understand why we can't have holidays in a week with only 3 events... *sighs*... Tis all mince as far as my musical tastes go too... tis Art with a silent 'F' if you ask me... Still... it's not too often I get to use the term 'pretentious wank', so I do look forward to it a little.
Means I can't wait till the Moots though, Moot 1 is ours and should be superb, and then I'm planning on spending Moot 2 in the beer tent/casino... assuming I can get my shiny cape lammied with a nice 'repel plot' ability :)

Unicorn Event

Tue, 02 May 2006 07:49:39 GMT

2 days of work left, then head down south for my first Larp event of the year. Can't wait to get there, as it sounds like its going to be great, brutal, but great. Moved into my new house over the weekend, and managed to strain a muscle in my arm, joy... Driving isn't exactly fun, and not quite sure how I'll cope at work today, but hoping it will be all right by Friday or I won't be able to fight!!! *sobs*
As my new house has a bath, thought I'd try a nice long soak in a Radox bath to soothe my dodgy muscle, and now... it's 10 times worse... bloody Radox, got a good mind to sue...
