I even gave him the suite number to the Lightspeed Party suite.
The next day, first day of Phoenix Forum, there I am in the middle of the afternoon in a very important business meeting when there is a knock on the door. Steve answers the door, and it's this Niko Bimini character is asking for me. Bad fucking timing.
However, I met Niko, spent the weekend "networking" with him, and perhaps even saw him naked (which isn't that uncommon with Niko). A short time later he was working full time in the industry, was working for Lightspeed Cash, and had opened up his own program. He's a quick learner.
Niko and I are still good friends today. Beat that for networking.... It's possible Phoenix Forum changed the direciton of Niko's life....

Most of the above is not accurate so let me straighten some of it out.......
1) It was 5 years ago (man we are getting old!)
2) You were and asshole to me via email and not phone.
3) You did not see me naked THAT weekend it was a few weekend later ;-)
4) It was a year and a half before I went to work with you at LightSpeedCash.
5) YES meeting you and going to that Phoenix Forum changed the direction of my life forever!
6) YES Rochard is my oldest and dearest friend in the industry!
Phoenix Forum changed my life and is the greatest show of the year for networking BAR NONE!!!!!
