Could you please send your team to pick me up and take me on a 1-2 year world tour to meet and mentor with the best of the Special Event Designers and Producers?  I want a sneak peek into the underbelly of what it takes to organize a Presidential Inauguration, Coronations, the Academy Awards, and other high profile affairs.  I’d like to travel to the Middle East to understand the intricacies of developing an event for a Sheik, follow the Olympic Organizers from one city to the next, and be present to better understand  the cultural preparations of powerful  traditional ceremonies that mark  a right of passage, a wedding, or death.  I will need a photographer as we chronicle this most desired adventure and create a book that can then be on Oprah’s Book of the Month Club.

The Special Event industry is so misunderstood, and I would like to bring attention to the challenges, skills, and research it takes to be a true industry professional, and the importance that anthropology, sociology, and psychology play  in the development of every event.

In your January 2010 issue you headline in bold print: How to Get What You Really Want This Year.  This is what I really want, so I am being bold and just asking for it. I too want to Live my Best Life!

Thank you for your time and consideration.
