Terms of Use

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to The Little Black Book, the editorial arm of Clandestine Events + Experiences. By using this site you agree to the following, which we have kept as short as honesty allows.

The content is ours

Everything on this site (the guides, the stories, the scores, the methodology, the name) is the intellectual property of Clandestine Events + Experiences. The Little Black Book and the LBB Index are our marks. You're welcome to read, share links, and quote briefly with attribution. You may not republish, scrape, or repackage the content, train commercial products on it, or pass the thinking off as your own. We notice.

The thinking is free. It is not advice.

The guides and field notes describe what worked for specific clients, in specific rooms, under specific conditions. They are editorial, not professional advice, and your event is not our event until there's a contract. We make no guarantees about results you get applying any of it on your own.

Venue scores are opinions

The LBB Index reflects our firsthand professional judgment at the time of scoring. Venues change chefs, managers, and souls. A score is an informed opinion, not a fact, and venues can't pay to change one.

Engagements are separate

Reading this site does not create a client relationship. Production engagements with Clandestine Events are governed by their own written agreements.
