Derek you have to go with your heart on this one. I am in the same mental possition with the shows, in that I am getting a bit burnt out since Mexico. I have made the choice of not going to the Santa Monica show and instead taking some time off of the party/networking scene.
You are well known and well liked so you will be missed, but not forgotten. As long as you don't miss two shows in a row than I think you are safe in NOT loosing any business.
For her to have gone through all the trouble of planning a secret trip you should really not turn that down.
After all we can make all the moeny in the world, but think what a lonely life it would be without s0meone to enjoy it with.
Just my
See you in Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
