New Year's Eve at MSG - Worth Leaving the House for
 Putting aside our preference for staying close to home on NYE, the wife and I ventured out to Madison Square Garden to take in the My Morning Jacket concert courtesy of LD Marc Janowitz, who was using a large SW-supplied lighting rig for this concert as he had for the Fall MMJ tour. It was a great looking night and I have  to give props to MMJ for performing a really tight three and half hour set with only two short breaks. Marc provided a cornucopia of great looks throughout the concert using a rig featuring High-end Showguns, VL-500's, VL-2500's, VL-3000's and Martin 2000 Performance fixtures. MMJ drew a large, boisterous crowd that enjoyed themselves to the hilt and I'm happy to report that I was the victim of only one beer spill of the unintentional variety.

Did you see Kanye on SNL in December? Did you not think that the video element looked totally fly? We did, but then again, we're biased, having been the supplier of a Lighthouse R-6B 6mm LED video system, along with a Hippotizer HD media server.
While we've been recognized for our video projection capability for many, many years, LED has become a major part of our repertoire using indoor high-resolution, outdoor and low-resolution products. We work with Barco, Lighthouse, G-lec, Element Labs and other products and provide them as part of a comprehensive system that includes all the parts and pieces.
