Over at AdWeek, PRNozzle, Tracy Brady, delivers a soporific defense of the Cannes Fuck Fest. Among a list of reasons why you should blow chunks of money to attend is this wanky one... Where else can you have a meal with a German planner, a Korean designer, a Somali-British newscaster, an African director, an American rap star and an Argentinean strategist? This is perspective you don’t get commuting on the F train. Yes, you only get this kind shit whilst drinking $25 mimosas on the Croisette. Her final suggestion... Take a year off, if only to remember how lucky you are and to make sure you are looking for the right things when you go back. Inspiration can come from anywhere, but most of the time, it strikes not when you’re winning, but when you’re listening. Oh yes, and what do you pay the fucking mortgage with during that year off? Pathetic.
I'd rather stay in London and party!
