Society Wag Wandering – lonely 'VIP Listeners' event
Dateline: A hotel with attitude on East Wacker.
What sort of people listen to love songs? And what sort of people listen to a radio station that plays only love songs? And what sort of people listen to a love song station so much that they win call-in contests for a 'VIP Listener' event held in a hotel ballroom? Our research indicates they are either distressed white women with oddly shaped boyfriends, or sentimental black women with agitated boyfriends.
A quick suggestion to radio stations trying to have supposedly 'classy' events for 'VIP Listeners.' More food, better music and get rid of the satinate chair coverings. Until the third martini it was like I was at a nightmare prom in a lowardly mobile suburb.
Question: Should one try to grope the on-air staff of a station that plays only love songs?
Answer: Tread lightly here. It is fun to hear one's name uttered in the throes of ecstasy by a voice heard every afternoon from two till six. But one quickly realizes the radio industry attracts a lot of unstable psychopaths. Also they usually have burdensome financial obligations due to getting involved in a number of awkward family arrangements.
Question: Say for instance, you went to a 'VIP Listeners' event because your friend works for the station. Then after the shindig the folks who work at the station go up to the boss's hotel suite for some champagne and pizza. You start off behaving pretty well. Then voices are raised, propositions are made and champagne glasses are 'accidentally' dropped on the floor on the way out. In what medium do you make the Monday morning apology so that your friend keeps their job?
Answer: As long as body parts were not inserted into the boss's lover, a tactful email should get the job done.
