I recently started learning hand tool woodworking and won’t shut up about it haha. I found a few books and channels that are helpful and feel real. The more I do it, the more it’s apparent to me that many things around me are just distractions. It’s really nice to unplug from everything and make some things or practice using/sharpening my tools. Those little moments when something clicks feel weirdly fulfilling.

What do you all enjoy doing? Have you found any new passions? What do you like about it?

That's awesome! The teams I've always been part of are usually artists as well, but there's a lot of tech focused people too. Without you all we wouldn't have such fun work! My favorite performances are always running dance shows, easily the most diverse and unique performances! And it's always so dynamic setting up for preshow to help the vision come to life with stage lighting. I've done quite a few, salsa/Mexican Son, modern and hip hop, contemporary and ballet, capoeira and ariel dance! All of them are just so different from every facet of it, it's really incredible! I can't even pick a favorite!

Man, I actually miss working dance shows - so much less paperwork, events are usually much more focused and require less space setup and more show setup, and rehearsals are just getting a QLab set made... Theater sets are fun but oh so large, and I'm oh so small lmao.
