In the morning I did some AV tech stuff. One, I got some more stuff out of the green room. Then I sat down at the AV desk in the auditorium and found that the microphone drawer was in disarray. I spent 20 minutes getting everything out and organized. Then thought about a problem that appeared with our new sound board: that on the new board you had to set the input gain just above 0 or you got feedback. I remembered that the signal to the board came from the wireless receivers, which are in a rack backstage, and the receivers have an output gain setting. So I set all the receivers’ gain down and et voila, the mics are right when the controls are in the middle.
After lunch I drove down to the museum and led a tour for a group of 25 programmers, mostly age 30 and below, from the company Databricks. They were fun, interested. Also young. I am talking about what is, to me, very recent history, like the beginning of the web, in 1993? and realize that some of my audience wasn’t born then. Alright, as your parents.
At 7:30 we had a jazz concert by singer Thu Ho, accompanied by top-notch musicians, including pianist Adam Klipple. Nice show, good songs and music.
