I'm working on an eight day rig and prelight for a three camera show (featuring some guy I've never heard of).
We're working 10 hour days - it's nice to be home while the sun's still out.
I'm on the "up high" team, which means that I'm spending the entire day up in the 'perms' of the stage, running cable.
One of the fun things about Hollywood Center (where we're rigging) is that they don't have a graffiti eradication policy, so there's some cool stuff written up in the perms - where only grip and electric go.
A lot of it's just names and dates, but there are also editorial comments:

The lot (The Culver Studios) burned during the filming of GWTW.
The oldest graffiti I've seen is from the 1930's - on the stage at Universal that still has the "Phantom of the Opera" sets.
Most of the graffiti is from the 50's on.. I think there was a city-wide perm replacement in the 50's.
AJ - I've actually only written one thing on a perm in my entire life. I wrote "Watch your Noggin" on a low beam on LA Center's big stage.
