Pick up the trash!

I mentioned that there were two events Thursday night, but I haven't said anything about the second.

It was a massive event with way too many people (a few thousand, I'm sure), but still cool. Lots of food and music and other entertainment.

The problem? After the first hour, trash started overflowing the trash cans and collecting around the room. Tables all over the huge exhibition hall were piled high with plates, cups and miscellaneous garbage.

Assuming that there was no way to predict this problem, it should have been dealt with swiftly, sparing no expense. If the hotel couldn't add extra staff to address the problem, then the event promoters should have been dragging staff out of their homes and texting friends to get there and help. Whatever it took, this is one of those problems that is just inexcusable.

It can happen to anyone. If it happens to you, make sure you fix it quickly and completely.
