How to freak out a writer without spiking the water.
There are few things more expressive of an existential disconnect than Preview Events - violent spectacles that stick out of the industry's quicksand like the sore thumbs of a drowning clown. Known habitats: London (specifically, Shoreditch), San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Francisco or any city that has loads of old castles and/or warehouses for hire. Population: over-stretched PR reps, improv dancers in period attire, waiters armed with trays of miniature food, and reporters milling around with mutinous expressions, anxious to just get on and play the damn game carefully stowed away inside layer upon layer of high-concept furnishings.
