Today was the big day for the drama crew that rehearsed last Wednesday. Two performances, 10am and 7:30pm. I set them up with microphones and I recorded the video of both performances. So that was a good part of the day.
In the middle, before lunch, I walked over to the Apple store and purchased a Lightning to HDMI adapter. This because we have a request from Mary Ann, who wants to hold a party on the 11th floor, and have her kids show photos from an iPhone on the big TV. The big TV is set up for that. I prepared detailed instructions, although simple, clear, and illustrated with photos, on how to turn the TV on, how to watch Comcast video, Roku video, play DVDs, or connect any device to HDMI input. Only problem, iPhones don’t have HDMI, you need an adapter. It’s a little thing. I tucked it into the pocket in the back of the instruction binder. It has “Please return when done” written both sides of it in indelible sharpie. Wonder how long it will last…
Also, at 3:30, we had a request to set up the portable speaker and microphone on the patio outside the dining room. This was because the 7th floor was conducting the monthly TGIF party in that location. They didn’t have many announcements to make but they needed a mic for the one, which was for John to be surprised by his wife Francis celebrating his 80th birthday. So I rolled the portable speaker out there at 3:30 and rolled it back and put it away at 5.
So a busy day of AV tech, and there’s another event tomorrow and one on Sunday.
