Busy day today, but while I wait for all of my decorations to arrive, I figured I'd type a little something.
The following characters/people are my inspirations today:
Willy Wonka/Mad Hatter - the ultimate funtime madmen
Walt Disney - the Svengali behind Disney, get it? Once Upon A Time - hello!
Tim Gunn - "Make It Work."
Corny Collins - he knew how to throw an innovative party

Something Wicked This Way Comes
Wait, is that right?
Anyway, the cast and crew of Wicked just RSVPed to Once Upon A Time.
In other OUAT news, someone asked me for a favor/guest list spot that, in a million years, would never expect to get a request from.
Like any good PR boy, I said yes. I'm still kinda gagged.
But c'mon, WICKED! We're kinda awesome.
My final thought for the day is this - I understand the need to downplay other people's events and make yours look the most amazing, but dubbing yourself as "The Official" is a little overboard. I don't do that kind of campaigning - relying on simply putting out a better product, but I do find it funny.
I just wanna know, where's the committee that decides this? Why didn't I get to nominate OUAT? Ah well, eyes on my own paper and keep moving forward. It's my mantra of sorts.

Thanks David
Ok, so one of my favorite people that I've had the pleasure of knowing is David K - local glitterati, man about town, tastemaker, precious baby lamb.
He was kind enough to send some props my way here.
He's my f'n hero.

Come Again?
With my boss picking up the new gig and all, I gladly picked up some of his "bitch work" as I lovingly call it.
Today, he asked me to switch over a flight for him to LA to see the Toxic one. I'm like, sure sure. It's not like I have a major event to coordinate or anything (I jest!).
At any rate, the nice lady at the airline was like, we can switch it over, but I do have to ask you some questions.
I said, shoot.
"Do you read, write and speak English?"
Am I speaking a different language now?
"Would you mind helping others?"
I'm a giver.
"Can you lift over 35 pounds?"
In my sleep.
She started laughing. It's nice to see that she found my responses as amusing as I found her questions.

Nearly There, Nearly There
So, I kinda cheated and looked up my horoscope for Halloween (you know, just in case the Magic 8 Ball was having an off month):
31. Friday. SUCCESSFUL.
This is another great day to move ahead in your special area of expertise. You can do what you want. Let other people know you are a force to be reckoned with. Impulsive tendencies can work in your favor because you are likely to choose wisely. Legal maneuvers and strategies should pay dividends. Obtaining an overseas contract could be very exciting for the self-employed Pisces. Halloween celebrations will be a pleasant outing for the entire family.
Who am I to fight fate?

Addendum to Score!
Well, since he revealed it on facebook, I guess it's ok to announce DG's new artist. He's now Britney's Tour Manager for 2009.
That's a lotta work.

Score!
The past two days have been quite a whirlwind around the DRIVE Talent/Navigation front. First, my boss DG lands yet another contract managing an A-List artist (his resume already includes Shakira and Deborah Cox among others). I totally wish this was my story to tell, but I'm more than happy to bask in the tailcoat glory.
Also, Navigation is rocking in both the event coordination and marketing departments. It's certainly an exciting time.
No rest for the wicked methinks.

Proud Mary...
I recently got notification that Navigation will be handling the gay marketing to this as well...
Keep on rolling, indeed...

Better Than Red Bull
I feel the world would be a more productive place if everyone played Veronica's "Someone To Hold" while they got ready for their respective day.

Story Telling
It makes me unbelievably excited to execute one of my concepts. The only thing better is when this idea, which was just a thought at some point, gets OTHER people excited.
Here's the first two stages of the idea...

I Have A Confession...
...half of my decisions, whether personal or business, are made by the Magic 8 Ball that lives right next to my laptop in my office. I used to flip a coin, but felt I needed more choices for more complex matters.
Granted, there are rules:
-I can only go as far as Best 3 out of 5. Any more than that and I probably shouldn't have consulted its precognitive powers at all.
-I can not yell at the Magic 8 Ball. This came about when it kept telling me to "Concentrate and Ask Again Later." This happened like four times in a row and I began shaking it violently causing bubbles in the magic window. I then realized I was screaming at a toy.
-I am suspicious of the one word responses - "YES" or "NO" and feel I have to initiate the Best 2 out of 3 contingency plan.
-I strongly dislike anyone else that touches MY Magic 8 Ball. I purchased it so therefore, its clairvoyance will only be revealed to me and me alone.
I think I need a nap.
"All signs point to yes."
I can't argue that kind of logic.

What's My Motivation?
I swear, I'm thisclose to checking da' f*ck out on this work week.
But, alas, I still have a self-replenishing checklist to complete.
Can't lie though, I couldn't imagine wanting to do anything else.
Oh, and if you guys want to nominate the Guest List for SoVo's "Best Of" Awards, I'm ok with that. ;-)

Fu*k Me...
I was actually already in bed but realized something.
I own my own company. It's viable, it has goals, employees and I have to do math and stuff.
WE have a website.
WE have a logo:
Humor me, I just put two and two together.
(Evil grin) Let's have some fun.

Thunderstorms...
are a perfectly valid excuse for napping and/or making out.
Class, discuss.
Today's Soundtrack: "Sweetest Taboo," Sade
"There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before..."
Sigh.

Not That Kind of Guy
At around noon today, there was a knock at my door.
Figuring it was FedEx or UPS, I went to the door trying to remember if someone had given me the head's up about a package being sent my way.
I open the door to find a casually dressed guy with a square glass vase of flowers.
"Arman Reyes?"
I cocked an eyebrow and nodded.
He tried to hand me the flowers and I looked at them like they were a bomb.
"You don't get flowers very often, do you?" he asked with a grin.
I shook my head and said, "no, I'm not that kind of guy."
He laughed at me and was all, "you look more skeptical than happy."
I shrugged and signed the receipt. Now, before any of you start, I'm still not that kind of guy - apparently. The flowers were a kind gesture from a business associate thanking me for the cross-promotion we planned this week. That's all - nothing else. Do try to keep your minds out of the gutter, people.
