For the first time, I honestly thought I may not be able to finish a post. This one was a grind. Turns out, writing for events ain’t easy. Especially when I have so little information to work with, and so few usable reviews.
For today’s topic, I choose Food Truck Nights. Not any one in particular, and not for any specific trucks—because these are constantly changing. And as much as the ever-rotating menu is a great feature, having such unbound structure makes it difficult. It’s helpful to some confines.
Here are 100 lines about Food Truck Festivals:
| 1 | Where picky families find everything they want to eat |
| 2 | Redefine dinner under the stars |
| 3 | The outdoor party that satisfies every appetite |
| 4 | No reservations required |
| 5 | The hybrid between take-out and drive-thru |
| 6 | Redefining drive-thru dinners |
| 7 | Social and sociable dinner times |
| 8 | The biggest dinner party in the city |
| 9 | Different meals for the whole family, no cooking required |

Overall: OK, but they’re not very specific. Turned out better than expected. This one was a struggle.
Lessons: It’s good to have a restraints to focus creativity. I wasn’t sure what the key audience was (families or individuals), what benefits to feature (food or festival), or if this should be targeted toward health or gluttony.
- I spell “restaurant” wrong a lot.
- As usual, my favorites leaned toward the silly—#65 being my favorite.
- The templates weren’t as useful as you might think. I’ve grown accustomed to powering through lines from my head and didn’t want to give in at the first sign of struggle.
- And would you believe that I actually forgot about the formulas until line 75? Doh!
- I’m glad I challenged myself, but I don’t think writing events are in my wheelhouse.
- I’ll try another event later to see how I do a second time. But not for a little while…
Time: One 30-minute session, followed by multiple quick hits as the lines & themes struck.
I’m glad this one is over.
