Also received a text this morning from our soaring superstar Greg Ellis saying that he is confirmed to run (get this) the LED wall for Pretty Lights upcomming tour.  I havent checked how close the tour comes to CT, but hopefully we can get out and support our boy!....

Congrats again Ellis.....love ya brother

It was only a matter of time before he started to take over the scene.

One of the marks of a great touring lighting designer/director is the ability to walk into any situation and make the show look good.

I have seen far better done with far less. Sometimes I get nostalgic for the simple beauty and sincerity of a show lit by Wolfman.

One of the many things Ellis was able to do with relative ease...ANY situation....ANY venue.....ANY rig....

I became a breakfast fan shortly after Elis joined (I think I went to one pre-ellis show), and the lights (I had no idea who was doing them) seriously put the breakfast over the top for me.

...if it wasn\'t for the lights, i\'m not i would have seen all the shows i have.
