Semper Gumby

So, with this event, as with so many other things in life, plans are subject to lots of little changes. Sometimes they're funny, and sometimes they're a little more difficult to cope with. When working in a fast-paced, project-driven and, ultimately, unstable industry like media, the key is to roll with the punches and fix whatever needs fixing.

Sometimes it's a relatively easy fix… like the discovery that our CCM Promo table had been moved just a little bit down the hall during ATF concourse setup, meaning two signs were now pointing out the ridiculously roundabout way to get there.



Peel, walk to where they make sense, stick again. Hooray!

Other times, however, the fix means a big restructuring in what people are doing for the weekend. Once we got here, we realized that, with people sitting behind the stage, the speakers would sometimes turn around and address them directly, so we were going to need a TV camera back there.

And so a giant complication became an amazing opportunity.

Say hello to Amber Boehler (say it with me... "BAYh-ler"), aka the unprecedented LIVE CAMERA #7.



Day 2 will soon be underway! Doors open any minute now.
