I hate doing these things because I always forget some people, so if I don't mention you, please don't take it too personal.
Then there is the issue of what order to name people. Alphabetical is too time consuming, other wise I would do it that way, so don't take it too personal if you are on the bottom of the list.
That being said, I have to give thanks to several people:
JFK (and Sandy) - man, the perks of working with you are too much. Thanks for all the hook ups. You are the man.
SleazyDream - thanks for the invite to the dinner, I had a great time, as did most everyone I suspect.
Fade and Mike - I really appreciate the special request to join you guys for dinner. Nothing but class. Good luck on the new product and let's talk more about how we might work together on it.
D$- Thanks for the hookup, I had a great time at the Players Ball. Also thanks for the tip on the Alternate Cash warmup party. Which brings me to . .
Warden and Sanjay - thanks for the hospitality.
I must thank Abyss_Al and Abyss_Vee for not only transporting 250 pounds of business cards, but brought them all the way up to their suite. Thanks guys.
National Net Kathy and everyone else there, your parties have convinced me that vodka can be fun.
To all the sponsors of Cristal For All, I had a really good time there. Well thrown event, even if you had to leave to go win an XBiz award. Congrats on that, Was nice meeting you Brad, and always good to see the Cory and Gabe team.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
okay, where was I?
media - nice talking to you, but remember, don't ask, don't tell.
Deepai - the contact info is on the front of FUBAR if you need any pics removed.
Blondie - well, you know
Brandon (Fight the Patent) - I think we did good.
Marc (Matrix) - did your programmer meet up with my programmer yet?
Richard (SilverCash) - glad we could get the one on one, thank you.
Arika Ames and Newbreed - Arika, you are even cuter in person, and Bill, no worries, I took good care of her at dinner. ;)
MikeHawke - good seeing you as always.
Tala - It was good seeing you, although I seemed to have missed the corset. Watching you in action made up for it though.
Okay, if I missed you it wasn't intentional. In the Title I said I was going to offer some advice. So here goes.
BradM - one peice of fatherly advice, and I am completely serious here. Learn to shake hands. A handshake tells a lot about a man, and a firm handshake is a sign of intengrity. Yours was limp and cold. As a marketing guy you need a firm handshake for one on one meetings. If you have a son, make sure he grows up knowing this.
Now my two favorite people, Chris Extreme and Extreme John. You know, up until Thursday night I did not really have too much of an impression of you, now I do, and I thank you for that.
For someone that does not care what I think of you or your company, you sure seem to have a lot to say about it. And I loved the bodyguard backup, I have to admit I was laughing on the way home.
I am sorry that I was under the false impression that the limo was to transport attendees back to the hotel, when in fact you had it reserved for your own people. That is cool, just say so.
I am not sure why you waited until Thursday evening to approach me, I was around your booth several times a day. If you had a problem, that would have been a perfect time to address it instead of the middle of the street at 4:30 AM Whatever.
It is admirable that you (John) want to stand up for your loose cannon, but the problem is that you guys have different stories, so I know one of you has to be lying to me, I presume it is him, but not my problem.
I told you there, and I will tell you now, if you see one person write it, you can bet there are 10 others that feel the same way. They just don't take the time to put it into words.
If you don't think this is the same as politics, I really have to wonder.
And now, a few pics.
