Glad to hear that things are working in your favor, Steve.

Hey Flatbed I saw an article in Newsday that the Met settled some of their contracts and remembered your thread. They didnt disclose any terms but sounded like pay cuts were conceded. Glad to hear you're doing well.

I don't know the complete details, but I know that there will be pay cuts, but they are not as extreme as the Met had originally demanded. We knew going into this that there would be cuts. The fight was over just how deep they would be. The orchestra and chorus demanded federal mediation and once the books were opened, the Met lost quite a bit of its credibility. While the workers took a loss, I think they see it as a victory. While the contracts are settled, there will still be some tough times. The Met has to spend less and they will surely be looking for anyway to do that. There are still some tough times ahead, but at least they aren't out on the street.

I noted the settlement in the NY Times, too, I instantly thought of you, too, Flat.. The Met. and DeMoulas Marketbasket have been on my mind for some now.

Ok. I googled DeMoulas Marketbasket and now I understand.

Update.
Well I don't have the downtime that I used to have at work anymore, that's for sure! Not much time to spend on the internet anymore. Things are going well. I have a few regular gigs now and I am about as busy as I want to be. Here are couple of my new views out the office window.

This is Pier 36 a special event space on the Lower East Side of NYC.

View from the Allen Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center

View from the grip truck on Person of Interest on a rainy day in Brooklyn.
And little video from the set.
