How to run some pipes.
This is what I call service. During our Bread & Butter retreat last week in Barcelona, Spain, we ran into some difficulty with the Wifi connection that feeds the Sport and Street Hall that we were calling homebase. Not having Wifi or any internet connection really makes our lives difficult, and in regards, brings our work to a halt.
So we called our Bread & Butter host Philip over to see if he could help the HighSnobiety/Selectism bloggers with this dilemma. Phillipe was unsure but promised he would look into it.
About fifteen minutes later, this three man crew arrived from the facilities team and began to quickly make phone calls. Who they were calling was unclear but within moments, the gentleman on the left, Thomas (a German with an honest to god Texan accent), asked me the most magical question I have ever been asked by a tradeshow handyman.
“How much bandwidth do you need.”
How much bandwidth do I need? That question is equivalent to a police force asking if they can clear a highway so that my team and I could race it rally style. Unbelievable.
So I asked for a meager half meg – enough to upload some photos and video. In moments, these three guys had a hardline and 5 port switch in place, dedicated to HighSnobiety bloggers.
Now that’s what I call fucking service. Bread & Butter and their massive support team (including Philip) kept our work running smoothly and for that, we cannot thank them enough.
