Green M&M\u2019s and other Green Room (at least in the Corporate Entertainment World)<\/h4>\n

Secrets Revealed \u2013 Well at least almost.<\/h4>\n

We always have a good chuckle around here when we hear “outsiders” bring up the subject of \u201cGreen Room Requirements.\u201d\u00a0 You\u2019ve heard the stories.\u00a0 \u201cSo and so\u201d wanted all green M&M\u2019s.\u00a0 We\u2019ve lost track of how many Celebrity Green Rooms for Name Act Corporate Entertainment events we\u2019ve done, but at last night\u2019s event with Barenaked Ladies, we started wondering what has been the most outrageous Green Room request that we\u2019ve ever received?\u00a0 (Definitely not from them.\u00a0 They are exceptionally reasonable.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When we started going back and revisiting some of the Corporate Entertainment Name Act events we have done, we sort of realized there\u2019s a theme \u2013 it\u2019s not really as ridiculous as people would lead you to believe. Sure, we\u2019ve had a couple of outrageous requests in the past 16 years.\u00a0 Hotel linens replaced with absurdly high, allergen free, thread counts only; a \u201ccertain\u201d brand of non-alcoholic wine, and probably one of our favorites: \u201cso and so would like to see a picture of their sleeping room and if it doesn\u2019t solely consist of an \u201cearth tone\u201d d\u00e9cor be prepared to redecorate.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 But all in all, it hasn\u2019t been as ludicrous as you might think.<\/p>\n

You can internet search the subject of Green Room requirements and a lot of different sites \u201csay\u201d they know what a celebrity requires, but when you\u2019re working in the world of Corporate Entertainment you learn over the years how to tame what may seem like outlandish requests, and narrow the list down to just the essentials.<\/p>\n

In the past year or so here have probably been the most frequently requested Name Act items:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Coconut Water (who knew?)<\/li>\n
  2. \u201cOrganic Throat Coat\u201d\u00a0 (now that makes sense)<\/li>\n
  3. A Juicer \u2013 Maybe it\u2019s that we’re working with younger and younger acts, but \u201ca Juicer\u201d is frequently requested as are Vegetarian Meals (again maybe a sign of the times)<\/li>\n
  4. Cliff Bars \/ Power Bars \/ Energy Bars \/ Protein Drinks<\/li>\n
  5. Powerade \/ Gatorade<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now the band member\u2019s riders, on the other hand, are usually pretty predictable with items such as alcohol, tortilla and salsa, candy bars, water, and one of our favorites, \u201cEmergen \u2013 C\u2019s.\u201d\u00a0 We appreciate acts that even ask for local brewers or local vendors for area-grown food.\u00a0 Maybe they look forward to experiencing a little taste of local life.<\/p>\n

    See all in all, so far, no \u201cGreen M&M\u2019s\u201d have been requested.<\/p>\n
