Every two years, veteran American rock band 311 celebrates 11 March (3/11) with a massive party-style celebration concert for fans over two nights at the Park Theater’s Park MGM in Las Vegas. The pressure is on LD Bobby Grey, of Notan Creative (and the entire production team), to exceed the excitement of the previous event in this biennial calendar. “We went into this wondering how we could top what we did last time… but ended up taking the whole production to a new level,” recalls Grey. Helping him along the way once again were a slew of GLP’s impression X4 Bar 20 and JDC1, which have frequently been his go-to products in the past.Read More »GLP Lights the Way to Another ‘311 Day’ Party Success in Las Vegas

Asked what advice he would give to someone in the early stage of their career, Programmer and Lighting Designer Rob Koenig says his “biggest advice is to stay calm. It’s very difficult to learn to stay calm. You’re in an environment with upwards of 50,000 people. Something goes wrong in the middle of the show—the first thing you cannot do is panic. You’ve got to chill out. I always tell them, ‘You are calm as a coma.’ No matter what happens, you need to delegate what needs to happen, and start fixing what needs to happen immediately—without panicking—and without drawing attention to it either.”
