TWENTY-SEVEN - LIKE YOU MEAN IT - LIGHT TECH - JEFF MAKER


HEY, HOW'S IT GOING? WHY DON'T YOU TELL US WHO YOU ARE?
" Yo, I'm Ben and I'm the light tech for the guys of Like You Mean It.
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to see those pretty little
faces of theirs. I also go by Benj, Benji, and Jim. But usually people
just call me Ben. "

" HOW'S THE TOUR GOING SO FAR FOR YOU? IT MUST BE TOUGH BEING
AWAY FROM...WHERE YOU FROM AGAIN? JUST, CAN'T BE EASY BEING
THIS FAR FROM HOME. GOTTA MISS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS? "

" Tour is fantastic. It's a part of me now. Anytime I'm at home, after
about a week, I start to go stir crazy. [laughs] I'm always on the
road, so when I'm in one place for too long I get antsy. I miss a few
people, but I live alone. Have for awhile. So not seeing my parents is
a common thing. We haven't talked much the past few years anyway.
Most of my friends are in the band and crew, so I get to see them all
the time. The few I have back home I try to call or text as often as I can. "

" THAT MUST BE TOUGH, BUT HEY IT MUST BE FUN BEING HERE. NOW
WOULDN'T BE DOIN' MY JOB IF I DIDN'T ASK THIS, GOT ANY SPECIAL
IN YOUR LIFE? SOMEONE THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE? "

" I'm sort of just going with the flow right now. Not really looking, but
if something happens then I won't stop it. "

" AH, I CAN FEEL YA. ANYWAY, ALRIGHT, IF YOU COULD PICK ANY
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU, WHAT THREE WORDS AND
WHY? "

" Work-oriented. When I'm in the zone, nothing can distract me. Athletic.
I enjoy playing sports when I can. My favorites are football and soccer.
And... Star Wars nerd. Yes I cheated. And that's pretty self explanatory. "

" HA, REALLY? WELL THAT'S COOL. SO, BEING ON TOUR, WHAT
DO YOU DO FOR FUN? TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED WHILE ON
THE ROAD? "

" Movies, video games, sleep. Annie, Nick, and I will have the occasional
Star Wars marathon and light saber battles around the bus. Play some
football or soccer with Jackson or some of the members from other bands.
The good stuff "

" WHAT CAN CURRENTLY BE FOUND IN YOUR BUNK AND YOUR
SUITCASE? "

" I keep my back pack with all of my electronic things in my bunk during the
day and put it in the hallway when I'm sleeping. It has my laptop, DSLR, and
various cords needed for input. I've got a notebook for those times when I'll
be hit with a light design idea in my sleep and I want to get it down quickly.
A pen. Um... pillows, blanket, small night light for reading. I've got clothes in
my suitcase. I'm old. Tour grandpa, apparently. [laughs] I don't keep much
in there. "

" ANY TOUR RITUALS? WHAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN'T LEAVE
WITHOUT? "

" It's not really a ritual, but I like to pull little tricks on the band and crew. It's
fun for me, since they don't think that I'll be able to. And I can't leave without
Chewie. My little Chewbacca plush doll has to come with me every tour. A fan
got it for me and he's been with me ever since. "

" WHAT'S SOMETHING OTHERS PROBABLY WOULDN'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU? "

" Well, I was engaged at one point. My lifestyle tore us apart though. She couldn't
handle the fact that I was gone so often and I don't blame her. I'd have hoped she'd
wait for me, but I just want her to be happy. "

" THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SITTING DOWN WITH US TODAY.
ANY FINAL WORDS? "

" Come meet Chewie at front of house. He'd love to say hi. "
