I got some nice photos and videos from an event I was invited to but I won't be publishing them after what happened tonight.

I love your brand but your PR sucks. Real talk.

If they don't understand what I do then they shouldn't bother inviting me again. I'm not asking to be hand-fed grapes by semi-naked girls nor am I after free stuff. What I want is to be treated right.

To the PR girl, your co-worker kicked me out from the VIP area without even asking if I had the right stub. Weird because it was YOUR people who gave me VIP access. Just because I lug around a camera that doesn't mean I'm one of your "lowly" bloggers you always trick into attending your events without really making it worth their time. Since I didn't want to make a scene I just asked you to give me a normal stub with all the food stamps in the back. I wanted some ice cream but the vendor didn't want to accept my cash. What did you do? You gave me a used one. Alright you prolly have bad eyes and missed the marked food stamps but how would you feel if I gave you a dirty used plate at a party?

Sneaker Pimps' Peter Fahey said it best when we did the Manila tour in 2005, "They're just sneakers mate! No need for a VIP area."

You tried to make up for it by giving me a loot bag with random useless stuff inside even after you clearly told me over the phone that you had nothing for me. Niiiiiiiice but no thanks. When did I say I wanted free stuff?
