I realized I missed the Mayor`s bee incident, and the incident where the VERY FAMOUS CELEBRITY had a complete meltdown two hours before going on stage, and I had delegate all tasks to my staff so I could take care of him like a mama (which was rather perverse, as he was twice my age.) I`ll stop there.Melodie Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870938103759179132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-15942961588598328422019-12-28T23:32:26.406-05:002019-12-28T23:32:26.406-05:00Melodie, this is one of my favorites.
Tell me, do...Melodie, this is one of my favorites.<br /><br />Tell me, does Moose Insurance cover elk? An Arizona insurance company banned me from driving because an elk hit ME! That Elk lobby is something else.<br /><br />One of my friends oversaw some of the planners at Disney. The main mishap I recall had to do with a clambake at the Yacht & Beach Club (Swan and Dolphin hotels) supervised by someone who didn't know what a clambake was. Details are fuzzy, but no one was poisoned or incinerated, and the 'bake' was moved indoors supervised by professional chefs.<br /><br />Great article, Melodie.

A young woman who was just beginning her career (God help her!) in event planning and non-profit management asked me what was the most important thing about having a successful outdoor festival. I told her the truth: "Get twice as many port-a-potties as you think you'll need, and four times as much toilet paper."
