This is it, people! The 6-city Bordeaux tour has begun. Months and months of planning and logging long hours to make sure everything was ready to enable the tour to commence without major issues has finally arrived. My client and some of my cohorts kicked things off in New York today – the only snag we ran into is that the Attendees Lists I had printed locally so I could manage the shipping to make sure they got there on time… didn’t get there on time. UPS held up my overnight shipping or whatever reason, so instead of being delivered on Friday as expected – and promised – finally meandered in there late morning this morning.

So naturally we decided to have all 100 62-page packets reprinted in New York over the weekend so they would have them in hand while doing setup today. Apparently, even though the 49 pound box I shipped last week arrived before noon today, for whatever reason it wasn’t delivered to my client until long after the event was over. I hounded UPS all day today until they finally agreed to refund the shipping. Too bad they can’t be held accountable for the cost of the reprint that ended up being double the original print, since it was a rush job.

Thankfully the printer I chose to print the big signage I designed as well as the rest of the important print items (Producer Sheets Table Signs, etc.) did a fabulous job and got them delivered on time. It’s definitely a printer I’ll be using for all my future print needs, that’s for sure! One city down, 5 to go!

Thursday will be the most nerve wracking for me, since it’ll be my first time actually being boots on the ground orchestrating the event and getting things all set up, as well as hobnobbing with all the fabulous producers and making sure everything is running smoothly. I’ll report back next week for sure! Meanwhile, I still have a ton of stuff to get ready, so let’s move onto the funnies, shall we?
