Bat Mitzvah Agonistes

by Budly

It's about a year away, and kinda like a birthing process.

So here goes:

Last night we went to a showcase for the entertainment company.

It was in the banquet hall, yes banquet hall of Temple Agada Da Mon Ey.

Wow!

Big place, small parking lot - and filled with the cars of the entertainment company's staff, so patrons and potentials needed to park far away and walk in the rain.

(??) Makes sense to me. . . but what do I know?

Upon entering the room, the first thought that came to mind was the description of Circus Circus by Dr. Hunter Thompson from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. . . so I immediately looked up to see if there was a gorilla swinging from a trapeze - but no such luck.

Otherwise it was an impressive showcase that clearly left a comfort level that your event would not be screwed up unless there was a widespread (read national) blackout or thermo-nuke-ya-ler holocaust - which, by the way (according to contract) would not relieve you of your responsibility to pay for the event.

Also, of critical significance - in front of a witness - my daughter stated ("Repeat after me or you're walking home in the rain."), "My Bat Mitzvah will not look like this."

. . . and it was a relief to hear those words.
