My hubby came home from church with the catering rider from the band that our church will host in a few months. The band is a somewhat famous Christian band, but will remain annoymous for the sake of their dignity.

A catering rider is a four thousand page document that spells out the details of the food to be made available to the band and crew when putting on a show. It covers everything from meals to snacks, and how hot each one should be. They are really ridiculous pieces of legal mambo-jumbo.

While I understand the need for these documents, I still got a good laugh at some of the request made by this particular band. The funniest part of the rider was the following:

POST SHOW CATERING

After the show please provide: 1/2 (one half) gallon of organic 2% milk, 1 (one) box of cereal, an assortment of fresh fruit (bananas, apples, oranges) a 10 (ten) pound bag of ice, and 1 (one) case of bottled, non-carbonated spring water.

So, everytime this "band" puts on a show, the dudes munch out on cereal and milk. But, not just any milk...organic milk! WOW. Of course, they don't put what TYPE of cereal to buy, so wouldn't it be hilarious if the church purchases Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, full of sugar, additives, and otherwise yummy-but-bad-for-you stuff to go with the band's organic milk. Hm.
