"Against Howie's advocacy of available light because it was cheaper, Frenesi
wanted actively to commit energy by pouring in as much light as they could
liberate from the local power company. In the equipment van, among quartz
lamps and PAR bulbs, color-temperature meters, blue filters, cable of
different gauges, lamp stands, and ladders, were also grid-access devices,
designed and taught her by Hub Gates, customized as occasion demanded by his
daughter, 'the young gaffer,' as he liked to call her, intended for draining
off whenever possible the lifeblood of the fascist monster, Central Power
itself, merciless as a tornado or a bomb yet somehow, as she had begun to
discover in dreams of that period, personally aware, possessing life and
will....

"'You don't think they know when we go in on those meters and tie points and
shit? Someday they'll be waitin' for us,' predicted Sledge.

"'Part of this business, Sledge,' from DL."
