The executive responsible for the notorious White Sox promotion disaster is bringing it to the minors.

Mike Veeck was the promoter responsible for the infamous "Disco Demolition Night," a 1979 disco-record-exploding promotion gone so dangerously awry that the White Sox had to forfeit the second game of their doubleheader with the Tigers and people lost their jobs. Veeck is now president of the (Bill Murray co-owned) Charleston RiverDogs, andhe's bringing a modern variant of the promotion back:

On Saturday, July 19, the Charleston RiverDogs will host "Disco Demolition 2: You Better Belieb It," a modern sequel featuring the destruction of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus music and paraphernalia. The RiverDogs will play the Augusta GreenJackets at 6:05 pm at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, and a postgame Bieber/Cyrus demolition on the field will follow the contest.

"Like so many, we have taken special exception to Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus's music along with his numerous run-ins with the law and her controversial performances," said RiverDogs General Manager Dave Echols. "'Disco Demolition 2' is dedicated to the eradication of their dread musical disease, like the original Disco Demolition attempted to do. We are going to take Bieber and Cyrus's merchandise and memorabilia, put it in a giant box, and blow it to smithereens. It is all in good fun, and we guarantee there won't be a forfeit of a game."

Veeck and the RiverDogs -- who will also issue "Mike Veeck bobble-legs" for the occasion -- have a sense of humor about the fairly serious fallout from the original event, while promising this time will be different:

Mr. Bieber and Ms. Cyrus could not be reached for comment.

Doylestown, PA (PRWEB) July 18, 2014

National Demolition Association is presenting the webinar Covering Your Assets: Managing Contractual Risks on July 31 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. EDT on the NDA website http://www.demolitionassociation.com. The online presentation is the second installment of the NDA two-part series on contract best practices.

Presented by leading business contract legal expert Scott Fradin, principal in the Chicago law firm Much Shelist P.C., the webinars focus on the unique challenges faced by the demolition subcontractor. Both webinars have been developed to minimize the likelihood of litigation, said Kim Wieland, NDA Director of Member Services.

The July 31 webinar will focus on six key issues that should be addressed in a contract between the building owner, developer, or general contractor and the demolition subcontractor:

Fradin will share his knowledge based on years of experience drafting and negotiating complex design and construction agreements for owners, engineers and contractors. With the growth demands that come with the current economic recovery, demolition subcontractors need to protect themselves during the contractual process, Wieland noted. This webinar will give them the information they need to protect their interests.

Part I of the NDA webinar series, also presented by Fradin, is entitled Covering Your Assets: Managing Contractual Expectations. Parts I and II will soon be available on the NDA website. Registration fee for each webinar is $35 for NDA Members and $50 for Non-Members.

For additional information, contact the NDA at info(at)demolitionassociation(dot)com or by calling 800-541-2412.
