Not that it will make you feel better, Kayla, but you should see a psychiatrist conference or auto body shop folks when they're getting tanked.

I really don't think this is limited to our industry. As a matter of fact, I've been the recipient of those meetings myself. I feel like a child when I hear some of the stuff the so called professionals do when they're out of town. Letting one's hair down does not include the childish Mischief Night pranks I've seen.

The destruction of property is never okay.

As to being too drunk to remember, Aaron, my friend, you are so right on.

For two years straight, I've wanted to talk to a rep from a major sponsor, face to face. But, I never saw him on the showroom floor and when I did see him, he was so drunk, it looked as if his spine had been removed. He could not walk upright. The next day, we were re introduced. He had no idea who I was. Two years in a row. Am I going to promote this sponsor? Hell no.

I am always looking for show people to represent my clients. The reports of people's behaviours usually comes to me, whether I'm at the show or not.

Ian. In case you're reading this. When Aaron told me you wanted to bring your kids to dinner at El Gaucho's, I thought about it for two seconds. My vote was no. This was a gathering for adults in an adult restaurant. It was wholly inappropriate to bring children there.
