I watched the Grammy's on television recently. I was told that 28.5 million people watch this celebration of music, and there are 15 million tweets associated with the show.
To my amazement, while watching the Grammy's, I saw a person who reports to me at work standing in her beautiful gown and clapping from her third-row seat. I had no clue she was in Los Angeles attending this amazing event. I kept thinking I was seeing things. How did she get third-row seats in a facility that seats more than 30,000? When this individual arrived back in the Indianapolis office, she gave me the details.
