Hiya Tom,

Take a look at the 25 FAQs on my site.

They should give you an idea of what you might like to use on your own site.

You're welcome to use any of my questions...but I'd appreciate it if you change the wording a bit on the answers!

I don't have FAQ's.......but they seem fine.
Comment on 7 - 1hr set up and pack down.....set up yes, but pack down should be quicker....??
Don't you think?

[Tom]

yeah. well i rush when i setup and that leaves me 15 mins to sound check and make sure everything is tip top but for packing away i just wanted my lights to have a cool down period before going into the box. also the active speaker get quite hot but then there not going in a box.

Fair comment.....

Wouldn't rush set up.....things bounce.....I know!!:D

lol. well iv always been like this. plus no one helps me setup because if i go to the loo for example and i get back and they tryed to help and got it wrong it means i have to take it apart and redo it. its just easier if i do it

You don't have to copy word for word - get an idea and then change it into your wording.
