I can't remember what the heck questions I've already answered...I'm tiredThe 100th anniversary of Harley Davidson has brought 250,000 bikers to Milwaukee, and I'm a bartender downtown...I'm tired
As for your queries:
1) well, by now you know the answer to that one
2) asking the maloof's for a 60,000 favor is like me asking my parents for $1000. It's a lot of money, but they'd do it if I made it seem like it was vital. Kerri did a great job of selling the importance of the task without giving too much information. For the Maloof's it turned out to be a great advertisement for themselves (not that they need it) but it also shows how generous and caring they really are. I don't think they minded at all.
3) the most difficult people we came across were with the Chicago Cubs. The reason you all didn't see any of that footage was because cameras were not welcome...and neither were we. They got pissed when I took a cup of water. It was funny - the Brewers were in CHicago that week and I'm in pretty good with the media staff. I called my friend/PR girl for the Brewers to see if we could get in through her. She called me back 5 minutes later saying, "What the hell did you guys do to those people." - man, it's not like we wanted to play in the game for God's sake!
thanks also for the kind words and I agree, Stacey is cute.
