Brian Setzer…. Who Knew!!!

OK, so we uploaded all of our new videos to vimeo, because the quality is better than youtube and frankly it’s easier to use. But just for fun, I uploaded the same Let It Snow video to YouTube. For some reason, the hits on the video on YouTube were going up fairly quickly, and we never actually told anybody about it.
However, just go to www.briansetzer.com and you’ll see why…
C’mon, Extension Cords…. Really?
by Chuck on Dec.28, 2008, under Christmas Display Talk
Like we do each evening when the show starts (6:00), we went outside to make sure everything powers up correctly. Since we had major storms last night, there’s always a worry that things don’t go as planned.
Well, we noticed that the entire roof and house didn’t power up! Yikes! So I scramble to the back of the house, and simply grab a connection where two extension cords are plugged together! Voila! Roof and house come back on!
All the high tech stuff in the world…. and a single extension cord caused all that problem!
Warm days ain’t all they’re hyped up to be!

Well, I spent a couple of hours tonight fixing LED light strands that quit working because it’s just plain too warm! Who knew we’d have 76 degrees on December 26th?
Unfortunately, I was one of the people who bought a large amount of LED strings from Creative Displays, and their supplier kind of ‘did a number’ on them with product quality. CDI is stepping up to the plate and swapping all of the light strands for new product next year, but this doesn’t help a whole lot during this Christmas season. So, I spend a bit of time each and every day replacing strings that just die for no particular reason.
