PUT AWAY THAT CRISTAL
THE DAY AFTER
February 19, 2006 - At dinner, we heard stories of a semi-uprising amongst the guests at the Player's Union Party. Apparently, everyone congregated at the two entrances of the VIP lounge to catch a glimpse of, and mingle with the
players, some of whom (Jordan) came with an inordinate (eleven) amount of bodyguards. The visiting fire marshal was worried about the safety of the crowd, and one of the performers made a plea for everyone to disperse. With no luck, the head of the player's union got up and made an impassioned plea for the same thing, and achieved the same results. Worried with the party being closed down, Antoine Walker, a NBA player, took the mic on stage. He talked about how big a headache the VIP area is, and starting to pontificate on the
virtues and essence of what makes a person a very important person. He threw his hands in the air and came to the conclusion everyone at the party was a VIP. The crowd lit up, and soon joined Antoine in chanting, "NO VIP, NO VIP!" Within minutes, a historic achievement Ronald Reagan would be proud of, a crew tore down the wall separating the VIPs from the other VIPs and everyone was equal once again.The next day the place was torn up, the smell of stale drinks permeated the hall, and bottles of $550 Cristal champagne littered the
floors. we spent the better part of the day taking down and packing up everything we set up, and at 10:00, our jobs were finally done. |
