Friday Fragment - v10

This has been an extremely busy week here in Charleston.  The Republicans are coming to South Carolina and the campus has been abuzz with speakers and tv shows airing from our campus.  Today Steven Colbert and Anderson Cooper are on deck - while I find both interesting I wish I didn't have to be on campus dealing with the traffic and congestion.

P.S. I am apolitical by the way.  Since I am not permitted to vote in the USA, I do not form an opinion about the parties and politicians.  I just know that had a tea party once when the key theme was 'no taxation without representation'. I pay taxes, yet have no vote...hummmm.

I am getting out of town this weekend.   I am headed to Charlotte to present at the annual ShowFest trade show and conference.  It is an honor to be invited to speak to the 200+ festival directors from across North and South Carolina.  To make sure I don't get too big of an ego - here is the description of my session in the program - I promise I would have sent you a better picture if you asked...

P.S. I am presenting an annual study we do of Festival Directors. To see last year's results, click here.  One of the most interesting findings from last year's was that festivals in North and South Carolina spent approximately $33.7 million in producing their various events.

Will someone pease let me know when I can get some sleep?

The world of the week adrenaline.  What I am running on at the moment.

 I work with a great group of people and I am not just saying that because they may read this... In all seriousness, I must finished my annual report and I look at the things I did this year and very little of it was done in isolation.  It was a great reminder of how much I enjoy working with the people I do.

Once again, thanks to Ms. 4444's for hosting FF.  Click the button below to see read more frags.
