RIP in 2009

I don't think they would be using his stage set up because they have reported that Ringling Brothers is moving the circus animals in tomorrow morning. It would appear they already have the venue booked themselves. Wouldn't that be a fun turnover for the crew, going from a memorial to a circus setup!

I'm pretty sure the circus will be taking place in a tent in the parking lot, not inside Staples Center. They might be using the building to house some of the animals, but I doubt it would preclude any stage production from going on on the actual venue floor.

Damn. The LAPD closed the entire 101 freeway all the way to Forest lawn for the procession.

Man, I'd be ticked if I was trying to get to work....

Eh... crews are used to this kind of load-out. The sets are designed for quick strikes.

They've actually had hockey and basketball in Staples on the same day.

Wow, that's amazing turn around time! Especially when you consider hockey needs ice. I don't think I'd want to be on that crew!

A funeral procession on the 101? That freeway hasn't seen those kinds of speeds during a weekday in at least a decade.

Naw, they were only doing about 40mph.

Err, oh, ummm, yeah, what he said.
