      I am in awe of my friends and other folks in the industry who successfully throw an event every year. This frees me to think about straightforward problems with transparent incentives and few moving parts, like the global financial system.https://twitter.com/jasonlk/status/1154753520865701889 …

      A few tips for folks thinking about planning their first larger event (> 500 people or so): 1. Avoid "warm shell" venues. Piers, industrial venues. They are cool, but the build-out cost is insane. 2. Events professionals all go over budget. Almost 100%.

      This probably seems like a joke but no, PMing something with 20+ vendors involved, substantial real world logistics, non-trivial regulations, and an absolutely immobile deadline is actually legitimately hard.

      A huge part behind the discourse of bridezillas isn’t about moral failings of brides, it is about the upper middle class suddenly understanding the reason for market clearing prices of competent logistics professionals after it is too late to engage one.

      I’m impressed that we don’t see more failed weddings considering how the majority of people getting into the PMing of a wedding have no experience with logistics/vendors at all.

      Social technology and acceptance criteria that are much more forgiving than they are commonly thought to be.
