Two semi trailers is a good start... just wait until you start working with bands that have 10, or 12... IIRC, Rascal Flats was 18...

I am in audio, so I have a thing for picking on the lighting guys....
My last outdoor gig (NOLA Jazz and Heritage Festival) we had over 2 semi trailers, just for audio.

You know why lighting truss is made of aluminum?
So it doesn't rust before they get it off the deck

Two riggers walk into a bar... you'd think the second one would have ducked
