:chef:There is thread in Directors Sucsess titled "I need a couple of spatulas" turned into a $200 catalog show. I would love to read it but I'm not a director. Is it possible for some to share that with us. Sounds interesting.
 
What happened was she dropped her kid off at school a little late and had to sign him in with the secretary. The secretary need some spatulas. She had a catalog in the car, brought it to her and the school's principal and nurse all wanted to order and it turned into a catalog show.
