    Pushing Creative Boundaries

    As COVID-19 continues to murder the event industry, we are all watching more television.  For me, I’m addicted to two shows:  RuPaul’s Drag Race and Project Runway.  Both contest-centered shows remind me of my dad’s most important rule of business: “If they want crap, give them crap.”  (I’ve actually changed the quote slightly to make […]

    Moments

    I call them moments.  When I’m traveling, and it’s raining, and the music in the Uber is perfect, and Matthew is next to me, and I think: all is well.  It’s a moment. What Denver International Airport looks like at 4 am. When I’m laying in a hotel bed, and a storm rages across the […]
