Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride

I have worked with Pride as a vendor for many years and it is never a pleasant or easy experience but this years event as a vendor has been particularly bad. Vendors have no idea what is going on. Packets were not sent to us telling us what we had to do. No one would answer the phones or return messages. Finally vendors were informed that they had to pick up information that we paid for at their office. Here was my experience. There was one person working this detail of handing out packets I had to wait. second I got my packet of information for my location and parking pass (1) I ordered (2) as well as wristbands (2) for each day but I ordered an additional 13 for each day that were not there and their idea of good customer service was to tell me to wait a day and get them at the festival. The next day I went to the festival grounds and had to wait an hour with many other vendors who also needed wristbands and packets. Finally I got what I had paid for and left.
The attitude of their staff is piss poor. Everybody passes the buck and no one knows what is happening at any given time. You will be put out if you work this event and the staff makes you feel like a piece of shit for asking for help.
MY BUSINESS WILL NEVER DO THIS EVENT AGAIN BASED ON WHAT WE HAD TO GO THROUGH BEFORE WE EVEN GOT TO THE EVENT!!! I HATE THIS ORGANIZATION AND WILL NEVER GIVE THEM MY MONEY AGAIN!!!

A great place we meet on the second Wednesday of every month. We are gearing up for our festival in May. Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride is in our 31^st year of operation, we are planning to be around for 31 more years.
