I went to see the venue earlier this week. Along with Ste, one of our lighting guys. 

Luckily, he knew what he was looking for. I was able to count the number of lights hanging from the rig. And I helpfully took a photo of the sound desk as my contribution to answering Richard's question about whether or not it works. I've seen been asked how many specials are available. Highlighting my limited knowledge.

Honestly, I continue surprised that I'm entrusted with directing shows.
