16 ounces
I just got back from Sams Club. There I purchased 288 bottles of water, 192 cans of soda and various other items such as yogurt, hot tamales and salsa. Why you ask? Our company is promoting a large scale concert. These are national level Christian bands – Audio Adrenaline, Toby Mac, Kutless and Hawk Nelson. The show is tomorrow and I’m in charge of the food. No, I’m not dumb enough to prepare it all myself, but I’ve arranged for the catering and bought all the snacks and beverages. Let me tell you! Catering is so stinking expensive. I think we’re definitely in the wrong business.
When I think that we spent all of three maybe four hundred dollars on food for our whole wedding, I cannot believe how much it is going to cost us to feed forty eight people lunch and dinner. It’s amazing all the “stuff” that they require. Certain brands of tea, specific kinds of soda and the really strange thing: One (just one) 16 ounce bottle of orange Gatorade. Please keep your fingers crossed that I can find a stinking 16 ounce bottle of Gatorade!!! I guess it could be worse, they could be asking for a bowl of M&M’s with all the green ones picked out… it could be worse.
I will be so glad when all this is over.

Wow! Sounds like quite a concert for only 48 people! How did you get those bands to agree to come and play? Who are these special people who get to come and enjoy your party?

Oh Allison! I’m so sorry! Hope you’re not responsible for feeding Kev too. I really didn’t think riders got that wacky- but I guess they do, even for Christian artists. Well good luck to you, interested to hear how it goes.

I once saw a copy of Jennifer Lopez’s service contract online and it was a joke! All these requirements: Schnappels in a certain flavor, specific snacks…whoever has to get that stuff has a hard job. I feel for you!
