We emcees

Have you ever attend an event before?

If yes, have you ever what emcees do, behind the scene?

No?


I used to wonder that too. Before I became an emcee myself.



I'm not speaking on behalf of all the emcees, but the ones in ASC2011.



While you're thinking you look cool sitting in groups playing games or sitting on the chairs listening to the talks, we're sitting by the corner, laughing and joking.

Cause the talk has nothing to do with us. It's all Accountant stuffs.

We do crosswords, we do word puzzles, joke around, sleep on the table.. and draw. I think we wasted A LOT of papers doing that.
What are we suppose to do?


I use to think emcees are cool. Cause they can talk and stuff and they look so authorized  and involved, but truth is, we're fooling around.

We urge you to come to the talks early, truth is, when you're already having your breakfast in the cafe or waiting to enter the hall, we're still lying on the bed.

We're told, breakfast starts at 6.30 for you guys and 7.30 for the participants, we're still in bed at 7.45. [Trust me. the bed's heavenly]

Event starting at 8.30, we're having our breakfast at 8.30.



Event can't start without emcee, right?


You see emcees discussing by the podium, we're actually moaning about you asking too much questions to the speakers.


Oh. And we take a lot of pictures. A LOT.


Sincerely,
Emcees.


I sound cocky. But, MEHH.




and P.S. To all ASC Committee, if you're reading this, go brush up your event planning skills. It sucked so much, we have to help you plan ahead. It's like you just book a room, then throw everything for us to do on the spot. 200 bucks for emcees [ not per person] isn't enough. We should charge you on even planning too.


If I was not mistaken, we're playing word puzzles. and drawing. And the yellow shirt dude is a tech guy.
