RIP HOI. The field I work in is different than most exchanges. Patrons pay money to waste time and drink liquids and leave with nothing to show for it but photos and memories. I’ve always joked to myself that I am in the “Memory Making” business. There were a ton of shows that I got asked to light because of my time there from some awesome bands like @bobbymahoneymusic and @feenynj and @toycarsnj, but like most things in my life I never really stop to take a picture as much as I should and those are gone from my record. This was the first room I ever got paid to lighting in and got me on the road. Here’s some memories I got to take away as a house guy and then later as a touring designer. 1-photo of me in the zone by @cmcarhart 2- the gaslight anthem 59 sound rehearsals 2018 3-the story so far 2018 4 the Panic at the disco show that never happened but sound checked for 5 Deal Casino with TVs 2019 6 Jim Russo and I when we did the gov Murphy rally (the year he got elected) 7 Deal Casino again (real fun show) 8 Joe P in 2022(?) #houseofindependents #lightingdesigner #asburypark
