This is the story about the fire and rebuilding of the Georgia Theatre, in Athens Georgia. I have a long history as a sound engineer there going back to 1988-89.
I was there for the post-fire efforts to rebuild, and the design and construction processes as well. All the work that went into it. I had a pivotal role as the A/V designer-Integrator. This is the story about that time and those efforts!

Check out my YouTube channel with my old but relevant live audio training videos. Learn how to solder and fix your damn cables!
(L)Roger Levine and myself (far R) installed every piece of audio gear in the new GATH. We soldered every single wire and hand made every cable, AV box, and power connection in the entire audio and lighting system. We are talking thousands of connectors and cables! Josey Hunt (Center) helped me greatly with the installation and programming of the performance lighting system. The three of us spent those final 8 weeks before the grand opening putting the A/V systems all together and programming everything to work. It was a super intense time with tight deadlines. These guys were instrumental in helping me achieve those goals. And just to be fair, there were other folks involved in the design, some installation stuff, and helping us in a myriad of ways. Far too many to go into detail without writing a book. You know who you are and I will always be thankful for your help!
