We sold the old Big Box style rear projection tv to make room for the new 50 inch plasma, but in the meantime I brought in my projector to set-up for the two nights we do music vids. Obviously wanted to do it on the cheap as it was only for two nights.
Nine sheets of poster board from the Dollar Store:

Projector hung by 22 guage speaker wire on a plastic shoe rack belted on with my belt lol:

We were pleasantly shocked by the quality on the posterboard. Was going to use a sheet or shower curtain at first, but they have too many wrinkles & fold lines that would have interfered with the picture.
MacGyver would have been proud!

Nope, didn't you know that all Canadian handymen were taught by Red Green? We always have enough Duct Tape to finish the job.

Rob I hope you now we are laughing with you. Believe me I've played places that make this look like the Queens Palace.
I've worked places where the light bars were actually shower curtain rods....probably made the bedroom DJ's feel more at home.
