Now the story continues with the tale of how one Phoenix video production team stared in the face of the menacing carnies and all the carnage that followed.

When the crack team from Lizardlandvideo.com showed up at the carnival in Mesa AZ two days ago they all had their game faces on and were prepared for the battle to ensue.

To make a strong showing and to provide maximum shock and awe to the dreaded carnie, all crew members arrived in force. We stormed the beach, um well parking lot, with grip trucks, generators and crew vehicles in mass. The carnies at first were a bit stunned and reeled under the initial attack but being the more seasoned warriors they quickly recovered and met us enforce before we could cross enemy territory.

Being the gentleman warriors and men of chivalry the generals of the opposing factions began the hostilities with a handshake and then the battle began. Grips began unloading lights and cables and approaching the lines of battle as the carnies gathered their forces and prepared a defense.

As the electrician for Lizardlandvideo.com prepared to lay the powerline the first counter attack was well underway by the carnies. Never before had a Phoenix video production seen such a shrewd defense. The two electrician stood toe to toe at the intersection of the carnies power cable and the film crews power cable as the carnie's electrician announced "there was no way the film genie power cable would cross the carnie's genie power cable".

This was a most unexpected development. Such resistance was not expected! After a brief skirmish the grip used his superior intellect and resources and quickly erected a pontoon bridge of apple boxes and successfully spanned the carnie's power line.

The opening skirmish had taken place and the mighty Lizardlandvideo.com grip had prevailed but the battle was far from over
