Last I checked the shows take up about 10 weekends a year. That leaves 42 weekends for the girl. Not sure about you but I go to shows and work two deals the the show is worth the trip. That is why I don't miss many.

All about priorities bro. Sure Vegas is right around the corner, but I know for a fact that I could spend 10 days at a show and not always get to talk to everyone I would like to, let alone meet all the new people I would like to meet.

Again priorities, mine at set right now. What are yours?

1) How many people do you know who have a million in disposable income?
2) How many of you who do know someone who has that much ever get to hang out with them and/or see how their life really is
3) Did that person make the money through hard work or did they just get it handed to them?

Here is something for you who can not say yes to any of those to think about and what those of you who did answer yes may already have learned.

Don't you find it interesting that all the stories about rich people being so miserable with their lives are usually in some feel good movie or some story simular to "The ant and the grasshopper"? Perhaps these stories are set up to make you feel better and most of all complacent in your lives, to give you comfort. "oh yeah he has a bunch of money but he is miserable and alone". Was this set up in society to make you sit in your position in the midst of the status quo and limit your drive to knock off the guys at the top? To make you sit there and work to make another man money. Keep believing that a life of hard work that results in large sums of money is empty and sad, leaders of companies need people who think like this to make them rich.

What is a life? Getting drunk and yelling at the television with your buddies as grown men play a game? Getting high? Going to the club and forcing your way though a mass of people, having smoke blown on you and drinks spilled on you? Bragging about how many chics you banged? Or is it retiring at 35 because of your hard work, being able to live a life of comfort then instead of ending work when you are half dead at 50? If I got hit by a car tomorrow at 23 with the amount of work I done, the accomplishments I have made and having sacrificed all that earlier stuff I would have no regrets at all. I work my ass off for most of the week yet I have friends, I have people who love me, I have my family, I have financial security that grows everyday, I have my companies and I have my health.
You make some good points and honestly I am too tired now to go into this debate. But you have to agree that in this biz the more you work, the more you earn..but in the same time the less free time you have. ( sure there's a saying work smart, not hard, but let's not get into this right now ). And - we aren't talking here about getting high in clubs and banging random chicks - we are talking about spending the weekend with the person you love.
IMO there should be also place for love in your life before you hit 35 and retire. And please note that most people in this thread ( "even" Sleazy Dream ) had chosen the girlfriend over a convention. So I hope so did Derek, although I could really care less :)

They gave you an option, they could go if they wanted to go. We never force anyone to go to show's. I say go with the girly, I have been to WA Santa Monica and it was a great time, however, you will be in Vegas and you will see the EXACT same people there. You won't miss out on much besides me rocking hardcore to Guns and Roses at the Rainbow Room ;))) Go with the g/f if it's not gonna freak your bosses out. I know them and I know that they'd be cool with it.

Be a man! =)
Derek you should go to the show just to rock out with sherie!

Skipping a show isn't going to kill anybody and I highly doubt anybody will be canceling deals with you because you didn't show up. I really have no idea how some people hit up shows and events every month, I'm STILL burnt out on shows and I haven't been to one in 4 months!

Spend some time with the girlie. If you don't want her send her on over, she sounds like a winner. :Graucho

Masked man- You nailed it on the head. I have been to a ton of webmasters shows and what?s the big deal if I miss another one. Im scared Im going to miss that one big deal.

Odie_ - Your so right I don?t see her enough. Damn girls are always right.

Sherie- Your right Im being selfish and stupid. So I don?t have balls like you. It?s something I?m working on. That why I have friends like you.

Ronaldo- My gut was hurting. I laughed so hard that?s fucking funny. Gawd I love Raimi.!! She wont be there so there is a another reason not to go.

Sammy4u- it?s nice to hear your input.

Rochard- I would like to take my girlfriend Im will plan on that for Vegas.

Slick-you nailed it on the head

Jace- WERD!!!!!!!!

Wiredguy-You just want Sunny all to yourself. I see how you are!

A1r3k- only 90 days away It can wait then that?s sooner than I think.

MIndoza- That;s a valid point too. Your so right im scared of committed relationships.

St Ideas- that?s a good plan I will do that in Vegas. As long as she can handle it. Its hard when a person has never been to a show before. They don?t know what to expect.

C u Next Tuesday- I will take your advice.

Bimini-. That?s a well thought out thread and thanks for your compliments. IT made me think she must be a cool girl to hang out with me.

Jade-Dragon- That?s a whole thread into itself. I will comment on that later.

Mr Izz- Im not gay, Im just gay curious. Hahaha

If you have someone who loves you and you loose this person for a couple of $$$, you will understand you have lost the most important thing in your life and got just a few million$.

Food first
girls next
$ at last
my choice

Seriously, there can't be a question here Derek.

Your girl goes out of the way to make secret weekend plans for the two of you. [b]Then she tells you that it's refundable and you can do it another time if you really feel the need to come to Santa Monica that weekend.[b]

If you want to keep the girl, [b]keep your ass out of Santa Monica[b] and go with her. She's being about as kind as she can be, and missing one webmaster show isn't going to kill you. Hell, missing them all won't kill you, as I know lots of people that don't even come to shows and still have good businesses.

Southern California ain't all it's cracked up to be.

50 stay homes ;)
