You don’t know that. You’ve never run a festival before! What if we’re overrun by UberGraft fans?

Again, how do you know? You’re a chemist, not a structural engineer! We’ve got the budget for this. We can’t cut corners!

We’re not cutting corners, we’re staying within budget.

We ARE within budget! Is there any way we can chat on the phone about this?

Not at the moment. I’ve got a meeting with the lawyers, then I’m going back to the factory.

Subject: Now the fucking food???

I thought we’d agreed to use local suppliers? It’s all crappy burgers and soggy chips. This is NOT what the festival is meant to be about! I spoke to Leia, and she told me you said you didn’t need their help. WHY THE FUCK NOT????

As a gesture of goodwill as per your original verbal agreement with The Colour Palette, their business has been allocated a free pitch. All other concessions have to pay in order to cover their extortionate electricity requirements and for the privilege of making money from the festival. Local businesses were approached first.

But apart from Leia and Ben, it’s now bargain-basement dross! You’re changing everything that makes this festival special!
