First of all, most of you are aware of the night I passed out standing up at the bar in Montreal during Webmaster Access East.
OK.
And it all started with a plastic cup. Someone balanced it on my head and took a picture... I didn't wake up.
So it happened again. And again.
And someone grabbed a lipstick and wrote a URL on my head... and more pictures...
The more I stood there, the more people wrote stuff in lipstick on my head and the more pictures were taken.
I heard that people were blinded by all the flashes going off for about forty minutes.
Anyhow, it was real...
A lot of people thought (as early as last year) that it was a put-up job between me and MiichaelP....
I was grilled about it too... and after awhile I just told people - you decide. Real or guerrilla ?
It turned into a brilliant piece of guerrilla marketing.A year later, I was drunk outta my head... a bad piece of history for me. Drunk the whole show, almost... and the roomy I had had a girlfriend...

FURKKKKK I closed the wrong window...
anyhow.... I'll rewrite...
So the year after, these guys who were fully well-intentioned ketchupped my head while I was sleeping on a chair near the Splash Bar.
No big deal, except that when I felt that ketchup cool, and woke up, and put up my hand... and groaned about it... I got up ran for the pool and dove in.
There's a great picture someone has of me emerging triumphant from the water and I want it!!!
Sorry to bore you but that's how it was...
So anyhow the drama came when Mark freaked on all the HD taping of that incident, mistakenly assuming (but with good reason) that it was humiliating to the company. A stink was made but died and all was good....
