Yes, I flew to Monte Carlo in this helicopter
Some people do this all the time!
This was for the second Fashion Rocks gig we did in 2005. For some reason Anya had to come by road but I got to "chopper in" to Monaco because I was directing the show.
My real claim to fame however was to turn down an invitation to Bon Jovi's yacht party after the gig so that I could get a nice early night!
So that was quite rock n' roll - After this somewhat glam extravegance, I got home to find that Karine had booked me into a real flea pit of a B&B in Kings Cross for my next show. When I showed her a picture of the horrible room, she merely said in her lovely French way "Yes, you deserved it".
I challenge anyone to have a job with more variety than an event manager!
Does Night Train blog?
Well yes.... except my industry does tend to require a fairly professional level of discretion surrounding some of the things that happen... and not just backstage either.... for example, I worked for over a year on the Commonwealth Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies... and couldn't really tell anyone what was happening throughout, and even after the events.
But hey, here's my "professional" Night Train blog nonetheless. You'll love it!
