i like to ask the soundguy if it I am clearly gonna be in his sightline - most will be cool with it or request you keep it below a certain height, but there are some that don't want you in their view at all. much easier to ask before setting up than being asked to move after you are all set up.
Just asking will usualy get you the OK to go anywhere you want (in smaller venues anyway)... respect thing ya know!
Actually... Kgreener. I thought you were kidding! I thought I remembered you being an FOH engineer? BTW, what txt files are you talking about? And why do they call front of house front of house? Don't they usualy sell you tickets at the front of the house? Or is that like a stage left/right thing?

Hey Matt, I
wish I was a FOH engineer! in my dreams maybe, but not at this point
sorry if my question sounded silly but i really have wondered about the FOB thingy.
regarding the txt file, it's the thorough description i was talking about...for example, a txt file from a recent Brian recording...i love this:
