Just a two-pager this time, but you don't have to wait a day for it!
I think Clawhauser and Bogo are on different pages here, even if they are saying the same thing.

While I am most definitely on the Nick/Judy ship, I'm not aboard the Bogo/Clawhauser ship personally. I just have 'em together here (in the station break room) as two contrasting personalities with a common interest.
Nothing against those who DO ship 'em though, I'm in no place to go "THESE two are OBVIOUSLY a couple, but THOSE two? That's just STUPID!"

I read that celebs put stupidly specific things in their demands so they know the venue that set up the concert took the time to read the set conditions and followed them. Sort of like "hey, you didn't pick the brown M&M's out this candy dish?! How do I know you followed my safety guidelines for the set?"
Not saying insane celebs aren't insane, but there is a method to the madness.

It's a check on the venue's ability to actually read the contract rider. When you are touring, the dates are arranged by a booking agent, and often things like the technical riders don't make it to the venue, or if they get one, they get the rider from the last tour, or the rider doesn't leave the venue's booking office and actually get to the technical director of the venue.
So they will include stupid little things like that in the rider, or specify a certian peice of gear that doesn't actually exist. Then when the house grouch calls the technical contact for the band and starts asking about these details, then they know that they are actually working on the right version of the rider.
The rider contains all the details that the tour is counting on being there. Everything from motor hang points, sound system, load ratings of the stage, electrical power, parking and hookups for the tour bus, clean towels, dietary requirements for meals and on and on.

Oh it's true. Look up some of the celebrity "riders". (It's the name for the list of requirements) Axl Rose's was infamous back in the day. Some however will really hit you where you don't expect it. Case in point, Look up the rider for the late Robin Williams. It's touching in it's own way. Lemmy Killmister's was brutally short. He didn't have many wants for his dressing room. Hell, you can probably guess most of the handfull of things and be spot on.There a great glimpse into a celebrity though.
It can also be done to give the person making those demands a quick "out" if the other party sneaks a rip-off into the contract.
(I remember hearing of an executive that had been head-hunted from another company. One of the guy's demands was a functional desk made of LEGO bricks. The company paid a LEGO sculptor big $$$ to build one.)

David Lee Roth said as much in his autobiography, yes. The infamous "no brown M&Ms" clause was inserted right in the middle of a bunch of clauses describing the technical requirements for the stage (number of power sockets required, capable of supplying X amount of current; overhead girders capable of supporting X amount of weight in stage lighting, etc.), as were several other seemingly-frivolous clauses (like "herring in sour cream sufficient to serve four (4) people") inserted in random spots. The idea was that when they (or the roadies) arrived on-site at the venue, if they saw any brown M&Ms in the bowl, that was a red flag to line-check the entire setup from top to bottom because the promoter and venue obviously hadn't bothered to read the entire contract or take it seriously.
This is what I heard.
And, in an informal version, Pawpet Megaplex blew out the breakers in one of the Orlando Sheraton hotels when the full stage lights were hooked up. So, yeah, lots of times the venues don't even know their own space. They SWORE they had more than one feed to that wing.

Years ago, VCL performed a similar trick with their rules for new applicants, in the form of a secret word inserted in a random spot of the TOS document. If you actually read the rules instead of skimming through them, you would spot the word. In spite of that, their forums regularly featured new applicants complaining that they never saw the 'secret' word. A few of them never did muster the patience to actually read the rules one by one.
Oh she was major.... I've dealt with all types of performers and one thing I've learned unless the person is truly good nature the more money they make the bigger ass they are and if they are on a pedestal for too long they can't handle being treated like a regular person......
A friend's brother has since retired, but he was literally "Geek to the Stars" -- he's done computer work for lots of celebrities, notably Martha Stewart. He always told their handlers up front, if they did anything he considered belittling, including ridiculing him or treating him like a flunky, he would leave and they would pay double -- even with the job undone. It was in the contract. The big cheeses caught on fast, and if they wanted him, they would treat him as an equal. You didn't want to get on Pat's Poopy Page.
Not gonna lie, Didn't care for this one compared to the other ones, but understand what you were going for. Honestly I liked the character and from what I saw from the film she was a nice person. Though they could have expanded her role a little bit to give her more character. I remember imagining that they could have done a part similar to meeting Mr. Big where Judy and Nick had to go question her, but Nick had pulled a con on her in the past and she still angry at him. I imagine she would have been nice to Judy, but angry at Nick. Anyway I hope you continue to do more Zootopia artwork^^.
