The person you are speaking of is a member of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
PITA is an acronym for Pain In The Ass.
It's also a delivery method for Mexican food, but that's not usually a subject on this site.

Actually Pita is a delivery for Arabic meals (I believe it came from Syria) .. and we should discuss Mexican food .. love me them Fajitas.
Galager was talking about PITA... People for the Inhumane Treatment of Animals... Similar to PETA, only mean to animals.[emoji2]

Every time I see "Gallagher" ... I think:
They are similar, but Galager is like a good ole GAL, and Gallager has more GALL. Other than that, they both look funny and both smash watermelons for laughs.[emoji2]Every time I see "Gallagher" ... I think:

Thanks for reminding me yea, certain days are off limits, my son's birthday, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day and New Years Eve. I know I pass up some good money for the last one; but prefer to avoid the mass quantity of DD's on the road and just spend the time with family.
I have played a bunch of NYE events. Lately, I choose to stay home. Too many drunks.
I picked up my first NYE gig in a while for NYE2017 .. mostly local folks at a local restaurant .. should be fun.
If I can chime in, I'd add some caution on that Titan 6'. The angle is a bit steep. A 7' will work better. Next, I busted my backside on one like that. I'd highly recommend a unit that has an abrasive surface on it. Here's something like what I use:
You are correct sir, I just did a quick google search for and example, length really depends on what the load height of your gig vehicle isIf I can chime in, I'd add some caution on that Titan 6'.

Agreed, I have a four year old, and since I started working up tell a few years ago, I always got stuck working on holidays, then, wasnt a big deal, but now, if I can be home for certain holidays, you bet ya I am going to stay home. I also have no desire for the most part to either work or be out for NYE.
I will add stairs to my list , and outdoors is a big maybe, but not chance during the months of mid May-Sept
We don't do steps. period. If it's not accessible for rolling boxes we don't go. I'm not bumping 20 speakers up/down steps on handcarts, nor are we lifting our road cases (2 amp racks, a dozen lighting boxes, cord boxes, power distro, crank up stands (4 on a rack)....
Otherwise, power availability can be an issue (usually just requires a little planning...occasionally a gen rental on their part--usually not a deal breaker).
There are some types of events we might turn down due to the desired style, but haven't had that occasion to date. We don't promote ourselves as a forced fun or dance teaching entertainment....if they wanted something over the top in that direction we would pass or subcontract a more appropriate personality for the job.
