02.18.12 KMA Ali 70 Birthday @ MGM Grand Garden Arena - Las Vegas, NV

The quiet before the storm
Manny, George & Sam
Today we did the Keep Memory Alive Muhammad Ali 70th birthday celebration. It was one of the greatest non-concert, non-sporting events I'll ever be a part of and one in which I saw only about 90 seconds of the live event. Too much crap going on behind the scenes. I've never worked on an event that had so many cooks in the kitchen - figuratively. I get the irony of that statement.

The red carpet
The talent on the red carpet was pretty good. Diverse. Some big guns. It was located in the worst location possible from an operations standpoint but life goes on. 

Chocolate championship belts
In the end it looked fine on TV and they raised a ton of moola for the Cleveland Clinic & Lou Ruvo Brain Institute. And that's all that mattered.




Happy birthday champ
I don't have much else to say about the event other than happy birthday Ali.

Happy birthday.
