It makes me wonder what the Westin is thinking about this right now.
Remember folks, they *do* discount these rooms for us, so on one hand they're losing money.
Of course they do gain that money back quite a bit from money spent at the bar - tips don't go to the hotel, they go to the person you're tipping.

Then you get some immature fuck who thinks it's funny to break that glass. It was pouring down rain... so it's just sheer LUCK that someone a) wasn't UNDER the glass at the time, and b) didn't slip on that wet marble floor and break their neck or worse, get killed from their skull hitting the marble.

So the Westin has to call in a team to do an high-cost *emergency* repair, with high-cost high-altitude (risk factor) work, during the rain, on wet marble floors. The glass most likely had to be custom cut during the night - glass shops don't keep panes that size around on stock and generally you can't get them shipped in a matter of a few hours.
So it's emergency, high-risk, custom, weekend work.
That cost them one fucking TON of money.

One pane of glass there is probably worth more than what this goof-off that broke it makes in three months - but yeah, it's cool man... >insert Beavis and Butthead laugh<

Stupid fucking shit.
There's this, the entire disgusting pissing thing at the GFY yacht party, the allegations of untested, unprotected, non-talent guys hopping in on the gangbang at the Topbucks party and fucking the talent girls...
You guys really outdid yourselves this time. Gave them a TON of fodder and reasons for not letting Internext come back.

What *really* bugs me is that it's not just newbie webmasters who are doing this stupid, unprofessional shit - it's folks who have been in the biz for a while and know what this kind of shit will do to both their reputation and the industry's.
Thanks a fucking lot.
