Plan B
Vanishing Act
The driver never showed up at the marshalling yard, and the shipping company had no idea where he was. Our driver and exhibitry had vanished like the Statue of Liberty in the hands of David Copperfield. >> full story

Plan B
Signage Carnage
Just as the riggers measured the sign's distance to the ground, all hell broke loose. Or rather, the crimping points gave way one at a time. "Pop, pop, pop, pop..." "Stand back, it's coming down!" yelled a rigger. >> full story

Plan B
Vanishing Act
My transportation rep informed me that our driver had gone to the New York warehouse only to be told that our crates weren't there. Somehow, some way, the entire shipment had disappeared into thin air. >> full story

Plan B
Best-Laid Plans
While all the electrical wiring had been completed, it hadn't been laid out according to plan; plus, the carpet and padding were nowhere to be found. >> full story

Plan B
Sleep Deprived
At this point, even if we located our missing truck driver, there was no way he could deliver our shipment in time for us to reschedule a labor crew and get the booth set up by the end of the day. >> full story

Plan B
Under the Weather
New York's state of emergency wouldn't be lifted until 36 hours before our event launch, and parking a truck in Manhattan amid a near record-breaking snowfall would require stealthy driving, brute force, and lots of shovels. >> full story

Plan B
The Space Case
As I flopped back in my chair, heart beating out of my chest, the realization hit me: Our event's 18 exhibits plus our own 20-by-30-foot booth -- not to mention hanging signage and rigged elements -- were homeless. >> full story

Plan B
Triple Trouble
Trouble arrived via a call from our rep in Colorado, who'd just arrived to set up the booth. "Um, I think you sent me the wrong stuff," he said. "I need an exhibit, not a pallet of skateboards and medical supplies." >> full story

Plan B
A Sign From Above
I hopped off my cart and jogged the last few paces to the exhibit space, where I discovered a 10-foot-diameter, formerly suspended sign had somehow come to rest across the booth's exhibitry and equipment. >> full story

Plan B
Making It Work
Amy and I soon realized we had been given one of those patented twists that "Project Runway" famously foists upon its harried contestants. Just when they think they are finished, there is one more hurdle to clear. >> full story

Plan B
Kamikaze Critter
Suddenly the massive buck came charging at us. I mashed the brake pedal to the floor, but it was too late. The fearful, frantic animal shot onto the highway and plowed right into the driver's side of the Mercedes. >> full story
