Always. I remember mixing a live broadcast of a big band concert,
one of the first (but thank $GOD not _the_ first) I ever did. The
(female) producer of the show was *completely drunk*, hanging on
my shoulders from behind and hugging me while I was trying to stay
in control. A few minutes later she threw up, just by chance not on
the mixer or me. Later during the show she walked on stage towards
a trombone player doing his solo, got a foot entangled in some mic
cables, fell down like a solid block and remained there until the
stage hands carried her off. There were some funny faces in the
audience, but the show went on as if nothing had happened.
I guess that everyone who has worked for some time in broadcasting,
film, theater or similar environments has at least one horror story
to tell...
Ciao,
