I've been using the G&M Nightclub table for about 12 years and it's starting to die. Any recommendations on where to find magic tables, not necessarily like the one I use now. I'd like it if the table could store my props as well. Any thoughts. Thanks.

I use a decorated plastic tote, resting on a restaurant tray stand, for kids shows. A tray can be pulled from the tote and rested on one of the ends if you need a table top. Casters could be attached to the tray stand legs, if you'd like to roll it into place.
The big advantages of this setup is that unlike a nightclub table, you'll never have to kneel behind the table to get a prop and you won't have to rearrange your props when you show up at the show site. I use a rather large tote, so kids have a hard time seeing the interior of the case, unless they're tall - it allows me to reset props in the case before the show. |

Hi, Alan:
How would you describe the "plastice tote"? Steve
Like Bonnie Raitt said, "I miss Little Feat more than I miss being 8 years old." Thanks for the concerts + recordings, Lowell, Richie, and Paul!

Emyers,
If you have a cabinet making shop in your area, I suggest you take your table to them and have it remade in thin plywood. They will do a fantastic job, and being they have never done anything like this before you will get a good price. And they may come up with some really good improvement that you will like. Then go to a custom auto paint shop, and have it painted. They can bake on the paint. I always found that what you start with is what you are most comfortable with in the long run. Outside of this, I think a Roll-suitcase table is the best. Mak Magic also makes these, I owned one once and it is a good investment. A lot depends on how much you travel. Bill |
