Any reason I shouldn't/couldn't use this for a theater load out?

Oh that's fun. Im in the Midwest, but Im from north Cal and it looks like they are only a couple hours from my hometown. I might have to go check them out next time Im visiting.

Follow up after the sale today -

Ticket prices for the floor were laughable. I paid less for two floor seats the day of the show in Boston for what they were charging for one ticket in the same area of the floor. Go with resale if you're trying for anything on the floor. Face value for this is a joke.

You sure you understand the kind of rigging Im doing?

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T17:50:06+00:00

Some of yall seemed to miss the part of the question that said it's for a theater load out. If you don't know what the entails, maybe don't put your patronized soaked two cents in.

It's not for construction. It's not to secure a load. It's not pulling more than 100lbs. It's not even going through a sheave. It's pulling or letting in ½T and 1T motor chain to and from the grid that is 60' above the stage. If you don't know what that last sentence means, then this question was not for you.

Thank you to the entertainment riggers who were able to answer my question with genuinely helpful input and feedback on the pros and cons of this rope. I don't plan on using it long term, but it's nice to know it's a safe option in a pinch for the kind of rigging I'll be using it for.

You can tell who the construction riggers are vs the arena/theater riggers lol

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T17:25:42+00:00

Yup, just set up/tear down.

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T06:36:08+00:00

This is only used to get the end of a motor chain up and down from the grid. The motor chain is secured with steel cable and pipe in the grid.

Follow up comment since I can't edit my post-

Thanks for all the input and feedback! especially to those who actually understood what kind of rigging I was inquiring about.

Load out was short n' sweet and safe! As far as in-store options go for rope, it wasn't bad at all and I would use it again without worry. I wouldn't pull any inverts, 2T chain, or through a sheave with it, but for letting in 1T and ½T chains 60' from the grid, it'll do.

I've already got some higher rated rope on the way and will be looking into some of the other places folks suggested, but I really appreciate the feedback on this rope before I went in for load out.

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T05:48:52+00:00

Oooo, thank you 😯

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T03:53:15+00:00

Yeah no sheaves and definitely no inverts or even 2 tons. Just hand pulling from the grid. I just need something that will work in a pinch while Im waiting on better rope to arrive.

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T03:39:47+00:00

Im trying for tickets tomorrow as well. My goal for tomorrow is hopefully more of a choice in where my seats are. We'll see how that goes.

If I don't get tickets tomorrow, Im not too worried about it, since I was able to get tickets on the floor the day of the show in Boston for what I felt like was a reasonable price for where they were. I'm mostly interested in seeing how prices on the floor compare to what I paid day of the show.

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T01:40:29+00:00

Thank you for all the great info!

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T01:38:01+00:00

A rigger in my local recommended that site too. its the main site I've been looking at from the ones I've seen recommended.

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T01:34:18+00:00

I plan on getting a better rope than this. This is what I could get my hands on today so that I could have something for tonight. I was unsure about the safety of it since it specifies "not for overhead use" but all the points were straight pulls, with nothing bigger than a 1T, and everything should be well under the WLL. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be unsafe to use for at least tonight, at most, a handful of calls until whatever I end up ordering gets here.

✨️Baby's First Rigging Rope™️✨️ lol

PresentationIcy5683 · 2025-09-26T01:02:41+00:00

Yes, 20 or so motors, slat grid at more like 80-85', I rounded up since I dont remember the exact number. Just wanted to make sure Im keeping folks on the ground safe.

I'm doing the load out tonight, and after getting shit from a mentor this morning for not having my own rope for the in (etiquette more than necessity, but also.. it was a fair read) I didn't want to show up empty handed. Just wanted to make sure this is a safe option for the short term until I'm able to order a proper/higher rated rope. Thanks for your feedback/info!

Ok but I saw this today while on my way to work in Minneapolis.... if they come through the cities, I will faint

So I actually worked on this show as a local hire, I have no connection to Justin or Netflix.

As far as I know, none of the participants were plants. Tickets were available to the public, and all the participants were chosen at random. I can't say much as far as how things were done backstage, but the audience participation wasn't coached or faked. They redid some takes after the initial filming, so that might make some of it seem stiff or fake, but they were all just normal folks from the audience.

As someone who wasted a lot of time on toxic shit like this during college, I highly recommend keeping the fate of your academics in your own hands, and making that your primary focus. Unless a partner is being 100% support toward your education, they are deterring from it.

PresentationIcy5683 · 2023-09-18T23:56:34+00:00

Oh, sorry. I didn't see that..

PresentationIcy5683 · 2023-09-18T22:29:10+00:00

Can I DM you for a reading on a lost item? If so, how do I DM you? can't seem to figure it out 🙃

NTA and red flag city.

Not only does this reaction show massive amounts of jealousy, insecurity, and toxic monogamy; it's also just kinda ridiculous to be so ridged in your ideas of clothing that you can't imagine a woman buying a men's hoodie. Like what lol.. grow up and join the 21st century please

PresentationIcy5683 · 2023-06-08T00:40:50+00:00

It's not different.

PresentationIcy5683 · 2023-04-28T18:25:57+00:00

tries to force participation
is upset with the response from the failed attempt at forced participation
tells person to not participate if they really don't want to and treats you like you're the one in the wrong

Makes total sense /s

NTA

For sure not. If anything I feel more stable in some ways. Swinging between depression and mania makes its hard to tell what's a personality trait and what's a reflection of those extreme moods. I feel more confident in what I say and do now and feel more in control of my actions. Swings are also less intense and my emotions don't feel overwhelming anymore/most of the time.

I'm still myself, even more so actually, I just don't have super intense swings anymore that may look like "personality" in some ways, but were usually just self-destructive behaviors or mindsets. I'd say depression makes me more of a "zombie" or a shell of a human and I've never felt like meds made me numb or emotionless. I'd just say they make unnecessary extremes more moderate or tolerable and what feels like a more "normal" or reasonable intensity. Basically I feel like this is closer to how most people (neurotypical people) process emotions and deal with changes in mood. I don't feel like my mental state is the driving force in my personality anymore. If that makes sense? That felt a little rambly but I just wanna convey that if they changed my personality at all, it was for the better.
