Working with Ria on making a lighting board.  We each have our own areas of expertise, so coming together to get it done is wonderful

@Fluorescent05, I know right? Funny thing is, I don't even know where in the heck he's getting all that stuff from. (I'll ask him) But it's like his own virtual world that he creates, with... surprisingly accurate lighting. Very satisfying to watch, and I really don't know why it's so satisfying.
