Yes, I Am A Snob
I have been reluctant to say anything about this - but it's really been bugging me, and since nobody reads this site anymore anyway - (which is really how I like it!) - I have decided to vaguely mention it.
A couple of weeks ago I crashed a party given by a fairly well known Memphis organization that is geared towards the city's "emerging" leaders. I ended up stopping by because my really good friend was there deejaying and we heard there was free food. Anyway, I used to be a member of this organization and let my membership lapse - mainly because it was lame and reminded me of belonging to a sorrority or frat in college - of course, I'm only guessing because I've never belonged to either.
So, I don't want to step on any toes, and everyone has a right to have a good time any way they like - and I hate to judge, I really do! However, the problem with this organization lies in that their main objective, from what I have gathered, is to keep and recruit the brightest and most innovative. Well, I've traveled a great deal and as a freelancer I have had the opportunity to work with literally thousands of people over the years in a lot of high profile industries, and I can guarantee you one thing - no one who is bright and innovative gets their kicks from listening to a cover band playing the same crap we heard in high school. Talk about a bunch of folks that have obviously already lived their best years!!!
We live in Memphis, TN!! Hire a real band!!
