The Single Point
Precision martini with a single olive under a single spotlight — fragility in a glass
Events rely on single points of failure in the human chain.
Why this cocktail? Iain warns about single points of failure. This lone-olive martini is elegant fragility.
The Story
Morrison's warning: events rely on single points of failure. One person holds the plan. One person calls the show. This precision martini — stirred to absolute clarity with a single olive — is that vulnerability: elegant, perfect, and entirely dependent on one element. Remove the olive and the glass is just vodka. Remove the show caller and the event is just a room.
