    (Btw those salt pretzel sticks died two songs later. We forgot them in the bass reflex vent behind me and when the drop came they just went flying past me lol)

    okay hold the phone. i’ve never commented on a youtube video in my life, but this right here warrants a comment. i can’t not share all of the thoughts that just flooded me while watching this.
    christian, you are the MAN, and i feel like i need to tell you why.
    1. you consistently give us content that NO ONE else can. this part of the production industry is like a dark mysterious pit, but you’re giving us access in a detailed and extremely humble way. thank you for that.
    2. your schedule is wildly busy, and your programming windows are sometimes tiny. yet you STILL choose to setup the camera and share with us. it blows my mind.
    3. you share your victories as often as your mistakes/mishaps. anytime fixtures get stuck it’s the most frustrating thing ever. you usually just have to sit and take it for the duration of the set, and it blows. yet you don’t leave that out of the video to make yourself look better. you share your losses which is why people love watching these videos. you’re extremely humble and which only makes you a better LD, and a better person.
    4. your programming is freaking SICK. 8:10 to 8:35 made me throw my hands up and shout “WHaAaAaT!?” while sitting alone in my room. every time i see your programming it blows me away, which only makes all of this so much more powerful - you’re REALLY good at what you do, you’re only getting better, and we get behind the scenes access to watching your journey unfold. just wow.
    really all i need to say is thank you, christian. thank you for choosing to hit the red button and share these amazing opportunities with us. the production industry is lucky to have you, and so are we. keep crushing it, brother 🤘🏼
