HP... with due respect, I have been on Oprano a very long time. I understand the "feel" of things around here and bitching and whinging is part of the territory. Hell, it's part of the reason I come around too.

There's no "point", here... not really. People are being judgemental towards a keynote speaker. It's expected. I actually met Sasha. She's nice, intelligent, she listens to everyone she interacts with. That's what struck me the most about her.

As for shows, what can I say other than the economic climate has made the situation what it is and people are scrambling to change the way they do things. Things will evolve.

OK, I thought you would have had the acumen to bow out gracefully, but since you did not.....
Here is what I think...

I understand that you say that is why you come here. Personally, I think it is disrespecting the board and those of us who post here. But that is just me.

See my earlier comments about learning about damage control. Dude, do you really think we are all fucking morons? Schools out.

My suggestion is that you just walk away with your tail between your legs and pitch this shit where people will actually believe you.

I get it. You need the job. But just don't bring it here.
