Quotations:
“We only have one rule for events: Be cool. That's it. And that means if the water runs out on the table, you don't cry and complain. You get off your tail, you'll get water. You bring it back to the table. Be normal. If trash is on the floor, pick it up. It's not your mom's house. There are no nametags. Everyone's treated the same.” - Greg Reid
