www.redentertainment.ca

the number is on the site.

ask for Kevin.

I've used them for several shows over the years. Prices are reasonable and they have a good selection of gear to choose from.

I got a fog machine at Long & Mcquade (Rathburn and Mavis) for $5.xx for 2 days. Cheapest I have found around. Cannot comment on their lighting tho.

we always get fog and lighting at Long & McQuade. They have a pretty good selection and pretty good prices at the Bloor/Dufferin location

Spencer Gifts in the malls sells fog machines for under $30... and you get to keep it

i have rented things from Long & McQuade but don't bother if you got no credit. They do a pretty crazy credit check there. I also found their prices very good for rentals.

Red Ent. has proper intelligent lighting.. programable moving heads with multiple gobos.

better than anything you'd ever find at a musical instrument store lol

and don't get a fog machine... get a hazer!

But, you have to use some weird chemical that leaves a film on everything.

how much did you use? Never had the problem b4. It's a one-time event, not like anyone is going to notice nor will it accumulate.
