So it’s about 5:00 in the afternoon on Halloween. I just went with Janey to have a relaxing little lunch at Boston Market then we stopped at the grocery store to pick up some supplies to make a distinctively holiday themed meal.
So now I’m just sitting on my couch sort of half-watching a documentary on Vlad the Impaler and I decided to do a little blogging.
I’ve never been a huge fan of Halloween, but this year especially it seems to be driving me nuts. For the last few weeks the general populus has been subjected to the idiotic stylings of some untalented hacks convincing people to become weekend party planners. So everybody and their dog is playing Martha Stewart. They’re running around with a bag of dry ice and some green cake frosting spouting pseudo-words like “Spooktacular” and “BOOtiful”.
Now now, I know that I don’t have much room to talk since parties are what I do for a living, and the company I work for has made a science of creating words out of complete thin air. But for some reason the general cheap marketing packages I see at this time of year are just starting to drive me up the wall.
There is absolutely no point to this rant whatsoever… It’s just what’s on my mind.
More to come.

Since posting this I have had a few emails asking what the heck it is. Well… it’s just a board full of sound bites from the lead character in the hit BBC series ‘The Office’.
Now there is a new american version on NBC in it’s second season. It’s growing on me, but so far not nearly as funny as the british version.
Today is a good day. For the first time since my return from Florida, I’m feeling that I at least have a handle on my list of shtuff to do. It’s been a run of some difficult events with late nights and early mornings. But the payoffs were good and just about everyone walked away happy. I was able to stay home last weekend and just relax… and I did just that. I think the only times I saw the light of day were to take the trash out. It sounds boring, but it was just what I needed.
Looking back on the last two weeks I have to smile at all the wonderful stuff that happened.
- I had the chance to meet, and work with, a dream team of Disney Imagineers on a one-in-a-lifetime type of event. It was so exciting for me personally, and I’m sure our guests had a great time
- I’ve had the chance to stretch my creative legs on a few after hours event concepts. It’s exhausting but very fun to just be creative
So today I’ve been cranking away on plans for events coming next week and well into the Holiday Season. I can’t remember the last time I was working this far out in my schedule. It’s fantastic!
My family is coming down to CA this week. I’m guessing that just about everyone reading this will be here 🙂 I’m pretty dang excited to see everyone.
I know this entry is short… but I better get some work done this afternoon. I will try and post again soon.
So I know it’s been forever since I posted here. I just want you all to know I’m still alive.
Janey and I came back from florida with over 2,000 photos, and she has a good chunk of them up on her onilne photo album. Click here to check them out.
As you can imagine we have all kinds of stories and good stuff to talk about. I will try and get it all on here very soon.
I also have some really really great stories to tell about this weekends events. It’s something that has never been done before at Disneyland, and we actually pulled it off, with only a few hiccups.
I’ll be back with more.
