The Reason I Won't Go To A Webmaster Dinner That Is Thrown Together Last Minute

Honest answer because I will end up paying...

No offence to you at all Odie, you know how much I love ya but that is the reality. In LA a couple of weeks back, Magnus went out to dinner with a couple of our buddies from COHF and word quickly got around for anyone that wasn't attending a sponsored dinner that there were a few people having dinner in the hotel restaurant.

Anyways this dinner was very clearly a "non-sponsored dinner" from the getgo. But a whole pile of people ended up showing up..

Well inevitably the cheque showed up and everyone bolted like the cheap fucks that they were. Magnus, Joel from Gamma and a few other people got stuck with the bill.

This situation has happened to me personally so many times I care not to remember. Hence the reason I won't go to a dinner that will inevitably turn into a clusterfuck with people either forgetting their wallets or expecting me, Sleazydream or Platinum Dave to pay LOL!

Anyways I don't want to talk down or discourage a webmaster dinner it's just that if it's going down please make sure you bring your wallet and don't be a cheap fuck when the bill shows up.

We remember cheap asses ;)
