Default Acting Responsibly and Adhering

The Register-Herald, Beckley, West Virginia - Mayor says contest organizers to blame for skate contest shutdown

What do you think about the organizers comment?

Seriously? How old is this woman? She actually makes a living with an attitude like that? Does SHE have kids she's teaching 'this is the way to behave'?

Sadly, she is I'd say, mid 30's. I met her last year and was not impressed. She actually owns/operates a production company for events (I don't see that lasting). In answer to your question tho, hasn't she "taught" enough, by going on record in the local paper with a statement like that? Beckly is our largest town in the dozen surrounding counties, and probably the 2nd or 3rd largest in the State (about 40,000 people) Not a good day for our scene. I hosted 3 races in our county seat, and all the write ups were positive and front page, even w/ Red Bull Blaring tech music on a Sunday morning.

Hey... have I told you, you were hot lately?

Big bummer but legit. They said no live bands and the event broke the rule. Not good for the riders but there's nothing bad that can be said about it.

"The Register-Herald contacted Kristy Zaferatos for comment, but she would only release a statement.

“I have come to the conclusion that you can’t stress over things we have no control over,” she said. “Life goes on.”

WTF, yeah that doesn't apply at all. As a promoter, if I got shut down for doing something I wasn't supposed to, I owe people an apology, money, etc. You got to work with the MAN on this kinda stuff or pay.

Nope, not lately, you've been slacking! Seriously though, please tell me this woman has not procreated. Lets take up a collection to get her tubes tied so she doesn't contaminate the gene pool beyond herself. If one of my kids copped an attitude like that with me I honestly don't know what I'd do. Woodsheds come to mind though.

Hopefully the fact that she is a general event coordinator will make the comment reflect more on her and less on the type of event it was. It doesn't sound like the event got too out of hand though, and you can't adhere to rules she did not inform the participants of. Or do I need to re-read the article?
