A story about the kind of night that only happens when you’re broke, 23, and full of accidental magic ……… there’s kissing, cab scams, breakdancing, a minor collapse of global infrastructure — and, hopefully, a little honesty too.

“Cassidy was the undisputed Queen of the Conference Circuit. At any given function she became the individual in the room whose ring was kissed. Even the party hosts or resident power brokers eventually came to her for validation. Or if they didn’t, she was busy plotting a strategy to win them over so they soon would be. She was uniquely able to bludgeon the careful norms associated with white glove events while simultaneously expanding the possibilities for how electeds were allowed to behave.”
This is some of her playbook.
