Belinda and I loved the show, as always. In fact, it's a bit of a special show for us, as we officially started dating at the forum 5 years ago. That show wasn't called "Phoenix Forum" back then. It was called "Desert Forum" and was our first weekend away together.
What did we especially enjoy? Everyone is all together in the same place. Food is always available. Drinks are always available. Business is done during the day while relaxing by the pool or sipping a "beverage". Partying all night. And everyone is on their best behavior. The only change I'd make for next year is being sure that Donovan Phillips guy has the room Juicy always gets. I love that room.

The mission palms location is perfect. There are plenty of places in close proximity where one can go do a bit of shopping or have dinner with friends. The Courtyard as overflow is probably a good idea. I only see this show growing each year.

Oh yes. We got a lot of business done. I'd like to say, if he's reading this, that I still need to talk to Shap. I didn't get to meet with him and have something to talk to him about.

YES!!!!! It's a great resource. I wish I had "stolen" a few extra copies. It has a permanent spot on my desk.
