People just not thinking things through I guess. I tend to be very resourceful.
I worked for a major sound studio in Hollywood many years ago, doing administrative stuff. I also spent many years touring with the huge rock and roll shows as a stagehand and electrician. One day, the entire power grid in Hollywood went out, the entire neighborhood was blacked out, and was predicted to be out for several days due to a major fault. I was just a secretary, but no one else but me thought to call in one of the giant power trucks that road shows use to power up outdoor and arena shows. They're generators the size of an 18 wheeler. The building engineer was THRILLED. Within 2 hours that bad boy (Show Power) backed up to the studio and ran those big ass cables to the panel and we were back online, while all the other studios and businesses on the street sat dark, losing millions of bucks.
I literally saved the company a small fortune, and kept many shows on track that week. I was the heeee row!
I just would have called all the tree trimmers I could find and begged them to come help until one said yes. I'm sure someone would have been thrilled to step up and make the news! Great publicity for a tree company, that's for sure! Instead of some guy with a gun.
