Head Start System Specifications and Requirements

Introduction        
The Popoggins™ are a very polite group and really do not like to impose. They understand they are guests at your event and conduct themselves accordingly. We promise there will be no screaming because there aren't brown M&Ms and a lack of Evian. No drunken tirades, no commodes thrown out of the hotel windows, just a good time….after all we are supposed to make you giggle.

The Noggins Tour Catering and Technical Rider Agreement
Hey! They’re digital! What catering?  Well maybe a kilobyte as a snack.

Ground Transportation
They come in a road case. Niles will not have to pick them up at the airport, no police escorts are required, no bus parking, and no wonky truck leaking diesel that's harming the environment.

Techno-Weenie Stuff

Space
8' x8' is required; however a 15' x 15' is preferred. We are happy to spread out a little more just let us know. More space = more players at one time.
Electric
The Noggin Nook can plug into a standard 15 amp circuit (120 Volts 60 Hertz).  The 500 watt Nogginlumes will share a dedicated 20 AMP (2400 watt) 120 Volt 60 Hertz circuit.  If you have any questions about the flavor of electricity the PopNoggins™ prefer, please consult your local power/electric vendor or we could speak to them for you.  The PopNoggins™ are sensitive (they are artists after all) and bad power can upset their tummies as well as your event.
The power must be within 25 feet of the performance space.

Total electrical load

Water
Are you nuts? Well the Noggins entourage/operators could use an occasional glass of water and a nice clean restroom.

Space
8' x8' is required; however a 15' x 15' is preferred. The space must covered. The cover shall be intact, without holes, tears or rips, and of a material that repels rain from the performance area. The performance area must be level and without hump, undulation, or depression. The surface must be clean and dry and of a "hardscape" material such as wood, steel, asphalt, or concrete. The surface must be of monolith design or tied together in such a way that the panels, joists, and footers act as a slab. More space = more players at one time.

Electric
In an outdoor application the Noggin Nook can plug into a standard 120 Volts 60 Hertz 15 amp circuit ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) outlet. The 500 watt Nogginlumes will share a dedicated 20 AMP120 Volt 60 Hertz GFCI circuit. If you have any questions about the flavor of electricity the PopNoggins™ prefer, please consult your local power/electric vendor. The PopNoggins™ are sensitive (they are artists after all) and bad power can upset their tummies as well as your event.

Generator Power
Generator power can only be provided by a licensed qualified temporary power vendor such as Edlen, GE, Kohler or your local professional.  Power must be properly grounded and balanced with the correct GFCI.
