I hearby submit my application to TUABHD!

Now we need a slogan/motto.....

I was going to suggest "Up Against The Wall Mother******s, but I think that's taken.

I hereby appoint Aimee Vice President In Charge Of Coming Up With A Motto.

And I'm going to keep doing this until everybody on this forum is a VP of something!

Can I be a ?Something??
Also
Suggestions;;-
As Chris & Mike would be naturally the titular patrons & sovereign heads of the TUABHD!
would it be an idea to actually formulate a tech run guide, proposed by the VP?s & sanctioned by our Illustrious Patrons, to be included on the website &/or add ?TUABHD? T shirts to the range in their theatre shop? [Incorporating any motto or credo of course!]
{I?d even buy one!}

Joe,

I think I'd settle for "VP In Charge of Curmudgeonly Standards".

And, yes, t-shirts are in order. You guys settle on a slogan and I'll speak to the Design Diva.

(On the topic of slogans, I vote for "WWTGD?" What Would the Gaafa Do?)

I think we may also be able to arrange a "meeting place" somewhere here on the discussion board, if that suits the membership...

Anything but clean windows!

I?m not very good at this but;-

No crew runs a cue to walk!

Directors clue a Tech cue to cue!

Cue to cue a clue to crew!

And the top ten slogans for TUABHD "Techies United Against Bonehead Directors" are ... (drum roll, please)

10. "Saving your @$$ since 1589."

9. "If we build it, they will come .. and mess it up or lose it."

8. "In the wings. Saying a prayer."

7. "Having a VISION and HALLUCINATING are not the SAME THING!"

6. "Just tell me whose leg to break."

5. "Join us. For a nice change of scenery."

4. "I'm ready to pull the plug!"

3. "Thanks for keeping us in the dark."

2. "We're watching your back."

And finally, the number one slogan is ...

1. "Please. No applause."

"None of us really grow up. All we ever do is learn how to behave in public." -- Keith Johnstone

I'm a director and a techie as well. Could we start an off-shoot group for directors and call it.

DATUABA

Directors And Techies United Against BoneHeaded Actors.

I'm sure we've all worked with them. You know the ones who won't wear certain colours because it makes them look fat or who can't understand that a 'rehearsal prop' is a understudy for the 'real prop' which (if it's breakable) we save 'till tech. "But I didn't have this tray the last time. It's not the same." etc.etc.etc. Or who don't realize that they have to move to their light not vice-versa because lights hung up on bars way up in the ceiling are not follow spots and do not have an operator. Bring on the PFD rope!!!!
