Hated the few times I had to

hang stuff through suspended

ceilings as the tiles could

come down during performance

with any forceful movement on

any of the aerial rigging

Messy & freightening

Hanging Elvin's junior cannon

in Circus Circus Reno was one

of the most unpleasant jobs

The temple auditorium in Columbia wasn't that bad. The structural steel was just above the suspended ceiling so it was relatively easy to make sure you had enough tiles out of the way. The problem in Columbia was the lack of anchor points for guylines and there was just enough space to make it impractical to dead hang. Also it was a little low. If you look at the webs, theose are normal 32 -33 foot webs and you can see how much is on the ground. Still, the date was a favorite on our route, always had great crowds, and a great temple to work with.
