THEE show which made me hate glitter so much was the Miss Alaska Pageant in 1980 or 1981. It was a standard 2000 seat proscenium style theater with a fly loft and grid to match.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I was just a spot op on the show but, attended high school which the theater was attached to, so all of the high school performances were also in this theater.</div>

Whomever was in charge of the pageant felt it was a great finale to take 6 55 gallon garbage bags full of 1/4" glitter to the grid and drop let loose with the entire 6 bags full from there at the end of the event.</div>

Needless to say it covered everything on the way down. the grid, electrics, battens, a multitude of curtains, lighting fixtures, the stage floor, in the floor pockets, the performers......</div>

It kept falling for years. It was still in places when I went back to visit the technicians in charge before I left Alaska in 2004.</div>

.....did I mention I hate it? The technicians there at the time weren't there during that show. They had learned to hate it, also.</div>
