Had a networking event go completely sideways in Phoenix last Thursday

Honestly, I showed up to this mixer at a co-working space and the main speaker's mic kept feeding back so loud it set off a car alarm outside. Tbh, the whole thing turned into us just shouting business ideas over the siren while someone tried to find the owner of a blue Honda. Ngl, has anyone else had a meetup just totally fall apart in a funny way?

Blue Honda" is classic. My last one had a fire drill mid-pitch.

Wait, did you actually have to herd a whole room of bored salespeople out into the parking lot in the middle of your big moment? That's brutal. I would have just kept talking and let them burn, honestly. How much time did you lose before you could restart the whole thing?

@gibson.robert read a story about a fire drill ruining a big meeting.
