June is a horrible month for caterers. We are catering a wedding for 200 on June 21st, and for the first time, I was prepared to leave my crew and let them do it themselves. A big step for me, because I am a MEGA control freak. If my name is on it, it is better than good. Period.
Well, this morning, I just found out we got our first corporate contract, from a regional bank, to cater 15 branch openings. BBQ for 500.
First date.....Saturday, June 21.
Needless to say, as excited as I am to get the work, I am really disappointed to miss my second convention in a row. There are so many people I have been dying to meet. Stogies with Doug, 'tails with The Splashbar Crew, and a smile and a handshake for all the crew here, who make this place a fun part of my day.
I feel like them bums.......wait 'till next year. Can we move the shindig to February?!
Darn it.
