Burbs: On the big stage

When the Rolling Stones begin an international concert tour this summer, an area company will play a critical role in making it happen.
McLaren Engineering of West Nyack will provide mechanical and structural design services for the stage used in the rock group's upcoming "Manhattan Beach" stadium tour.
McLaren has years of experience in the entertainment industry. The company also has helped design state-of-the-art stages for Cirque de Soleil, Pink Floyd, Super Bowl halftime shows and Broadway shows.
"The opportunity to work on another Rolling Stones stage is very exciting," said Bill Gorlin, manager of McLaren's entertainment division. "Designing a stage for a touring show, whether it's a Broadway musical or a rock concert, is challenging because you have to pay close attention to how long it takes to erect and disassemble the equipment."
The Rolling Stones tour starts Aug. 21 in Boston and will span the United States and Canada during the fall and winter with 33 scheduled dates. Other legs of the tour will include Mexico, South America and Asia. The tour will end in Europe during the summer of 2006.
McLaren Engineering said it helped design touring stages for three previous Rolling Stones tours: "Voodoo Lounge" in 1994, "Bridges to Babylon" in 1997 and 1998 and "40 Licks" in 2002 and 2003. In addition to stages for touring shows, McLaren has served as a consultant for owners renovating many of New York City's historic theaters.
McLaren also has branched out to casinos by using its knowledge in rigging overhead structures and lights to help design decorations at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Conn., and the new Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.
Haights Cross Communications Inc., a White Plains-based educational publisher, announced this week that it has acquired CMEinfo.com, a Cherry Hill, N.J.-based publisher of multimedia continuing medical education products. CMEinfo.com will join Haights Cross' Oakstone Publishing unit, Oakstone Medical Publishing. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Elant Inc., a Goshen-based provider of services for senior citizens, has purchased the Brandywine Nursing Home and Sleepy Hollow Adult Home for $17.5 million from its longtime owners, the Paul Roth family. Elant at Brandywine, the new name of the complex at 620 Sleepy Hollow Road in Briarcliff Manor, includes a 131-bed skilled nursing home and a 48-bed licensed adult home staffed by 175 employees. The complex has been open since 1953.
Cold Stone Creamery, an ice cream store, has opened at 90 Main St. in Nyack.

Yeah. I cut out the ad from the New York Times and put it on my door.
I dunno how I feel about Manhattan Beach, being schooled in Manhattan as I am. Ah well. |

I still HATE the fact that people call the last tour "40 Licks," when every bit of promotion that went down with that tour clearly called it, simply, "Licks."
Manhattan Beach, huh? Geez, I hope this is untrue. |

The tour is going to be called "The Manhattan Beach Tour" it seems.
So, the album will probably have the same name.

I can't really understand why anybody really cares about the name of the album or tour. ?? Ain't it the music that counts? I don't give a shit about names/titles. |
