Found out yesterday that the best part of the ball happened just as I was making the mad dash to my car.
Each year, the chamber gives out "of the Year" awards to cops, paramedics and firefighters, and the dude who took over the Lake County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Speros Batistatos, was chosen to hand out the firefighter awards, right? Well, I'm told by several people that as ol' Speros took the stage to annouce the recipients, he scolded attendees who were still browsing at the silent auction table to sit down and that "wasn't going to tell (them) again"; after all, these men deserved everyones' full attention. That's right: He got up on stage with a microphone and scolded grown men and women to sit down. Needless to say, the grown-ups didn't take too kindly to being scolded at an event for which they paid $100 per couple.
Sounds like a fun time ... almost like being in elementary school.
Isn't the point of those shindigs to wonder around, drink a little, and talk to people a various tables? Yelling at people to sit down and shut up (it probably wasn't exactly like that ... I hope) ruins the fun of the event.
We have a woman at the office that does that kind of stuff. Came up to me once as I snagged a cookie out of the lunchroom (public access food leftover from a meeting) and said in a voice loud enough to be heard by dozens "CAUGHT YOU!"
