The whole agency from Bryan Lourd on down went on a super-secret retreat, leaving only the assistants at the new headquarters.
The majority of the BMW brigade stormed Ojai for a team building exercise. That meant no phones, no Blackberries on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
No word yet on how CAA's dealmaking elite delt with going cold turkey.
