[SML] I was in the pool!

[Bill Sapsis]

Ken.  The drop shrunk?  How does that happen.  The drop has been hanging for 7 years.  I’m assuming (yeah, I know) that it had a pipe or chain in the bottom.  Unless you’ve been washing it or the theatre has had a flood, I don’t see how the drop could have shrunk.  Stretched would be more like it.  Did it get painted at some point?  

You sure you’re not getting pranked today?

That didn't sit well with me so I moved it downstage one foot so I could fly it in and out. For our next show we need the batten so I moved the cyc back upstage to its dead hung pipe. Well over the last 7 years it has shrunk about 8" vertically.
