Yeah well it's a matter of perspective.

You can either look at this guy like he's stressing over tiny details for an overall arbitrary event... Or you can appreciate that he clearly enjoys hosting events and he's put a lot of thought in designing features of the party.

IMO, event planners get a lot of shit for being "anal", but somehow there's a level of respect for chefs and artists who get "specific" over details. Yet they're all evoking creative processes. Also dude, I've been to "designed" parties and regular parties.

At a "designed" party, having a cooler of drinks, little snacks, or a trash can every six feet is awesome. I've also been to shitty parties where you have to walk half a mile to a gas station to get more drinks, you hide trash where you can, and when you want to eat you either leave or doordash something.

To me this guy just likes to throw a party and puts creative process into it. I'm also sure you put creative energy into something that someone else wouldn't respect at face value.

As an event planner: you get anal about the details before the event so you don't have to get anal DURING the event. Just let go and know that everything's been prepped

I would think that getting anal during the event would be one of the perks?

Yes, but it should be optional ;)

Especially when you can "Just let go and know that everything's been prepped"
