ok, seriously. when J.Ho (and please God let him never discover I say that) decides to rip you a new one, he does it beautifully. and brutally.

"For me, this carousel, which clocks in at a leisurely 135 minutes, is more fun to describe than to ride."

As CEO of Bizbash, the trade media for the event industry, I am going to be watching the results with my staff of reporters who will be judging who has the best victory party (we care about those things).
