Other than the free food, free booze, and free entry to places I wouldn’t bother trying to go otherwise, my favorite part of representing BlackBook at events is the VIP treatment.
There’s just something about having PR reps, too-cool-for-school people, and product pushers falling all over themselves to make sure you’re accommodated.
And those beautiful words, “Oh, you’re with the press!”
Why yes, yes I am. Sure, I’m not on the payroll, and I haven’t finished my college degree, and I don’t even live in this city. But for the rest of the week (and the past two months) I AM the press, and I will happily let doormen highlight my name and hotel reps seek me out as though I matter for as long as they’d like. —AG
