The Allstar Game

San Francisco hosted the MLB Allstar game earlier this month. I was the lighting designer and project manager. I got back from Italy on July first around 8pm, and I was on site at 9am the following morning. It was not easy going from the super chill Tuscan lifestyle right back into "the pace" but I didn't really have much choice.

I have to say that if one is going to have to go right back to work this was as good
as it could be. A rare sunny warm week by the bay. The project was massive. I had I had 6 other Impact project managers working on it each paired up with a union head electrician, and I designed, and oversaw the whole thing.

The tents started being built on June 22 (the day I left for Italy) and the first day

of lighting installation was July 1st. The first of the two events was July 9th. We took one day off for the 4th so it was 8 days of install for a 3 hour party. Yee Haw!
The end product was definitely one for the picture books.
I've posted a few of the pics from my camera. I want to get some others.

In other news I plan on racing mid August. Unfortunately I've got another monster event to deal with first. Virgin America "Paint the town Red" Can you believe I have to light 5 SF civic buildings in red for 5 nights. Not an easy task.
