The Atlanta Forum
 

Before I start, I want to thank first and foremost Kathi Stout from National Net. I don't think I could have made it through the whole process without her assistance, before, during, and after the show. We are a proud sponsor of the 2008 Atlanta Forum, and will continue to be for life. The weather was absolutely fantastic, I took a nap in my cabana, and maybe next year we can have hammocks. :)

Alot of talk about the size of the show, and I want to make one salient point. Everyone I talked too was a decision maker. I'd rather have quality over quantity at any show I go to, and more so for any show I sponsor. I've been in the game over a decade now, and deals you made in one show can take up to a year to finalize. It just happens. Once you get back to your office, the daily grind kicks back in, and it just becomes another project for you to finish. I know I have a long list on my whiteboard of them. I had ample time to work out the issues I have with Python on one of our projects, with Pimp Mansion over believe it or not, lap dances at the Oasis, to having a quite 15 minutes with Sweet T, and many others. I had one instance of scheduling overlap with Xbiz and Netbilling. Which is something that happens quite frequently at the larger shows. Tony Morgan exceeded the vision he told me earlier in the year imho. Well done old friend! Well done indeed! :)

The W Hotel. I always have a problem with Security, anywhere I go. I don't know what it is, I'm pretty laid back. So it was a welcome surprise to have zero issues at all with NATNET's Security team, led by Bubba. I don't know of anyone having an issue, there were few idiots, every show has them, but your usual dick head security was not present, and to a man, all cordial and helpful. The Hotel staff bent over backwards for us. From Andrew, the main Bartender to Yannah at the front desk. We were all treated very well, and the 24 hour snack bar, thank you very very very much! :)

Every part of the show was done in style. From the belly flop contest we had at BOSBUCKS pool party, to all of the seminars, and parties. My favorite, and one not soon forgotten is Saturday night. JayD from Crazyshit.com took us out to an Atlanta Restaurant across the street from Opera, where we would be treated to a VIP Club experience that I don't know can ever be beat.

Thank you to everyone that made this experience an excellent one. It's back to the grind, and finishing up projects.

See you all next year! :)

I couldn't agree more on every point.... a truly outstanding show.


Big thumbs up to everyone involved:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup










:pimp

I forgot to add, that I'd be lost without Kelly Kola. My protege and BFFF! :)

She's easily making the transition to becoming the face of BOSBucks, and I'm so proud of her! :)

glad you guys had a great show, sorry i missed it. i'm on that whiteboard so get back to work :winkwink:

I must agree with Anthony and Michael! GREAT show! Kudos to National Net and thanks to all the sponsors!

Until next year.........

XO

I promise, this week, it will be done! :)

What a great show! I got to hang out with old friends and make some more new ones! That dinner was great. Even though it wasn't bbq! I guess I'll be making my reservations for next year now!

Ant you did a great job on the pool party Saturday too! Nice belly flop contest, I can't wait to see those pictures.

BFFF...lol Thanks so much Anthony!! I almost caught a tear. I love my job and the people in it! It makes coming to work daily an absolute pleasure and really makes me want to be successful at what I do! BOSbucks rocks!! :thumbsup:thumbsup

Kelly Kola is even HOTTTTER in person! :thumbsup

Anthony -
It was great hanging out with you and your crew!

Same here Scooter! Good times! :)

Nice pic! Sadly, my near sumo bulk could not compete against Sharky's tsunami causing belly flop. :(

Glad you had a great time and bosbucks really rocks !!!

Anthony,

Lets be sure to do all future biz meetings at a strip club of Oasis' caliber. I've already confirmed with Wiredguy, he's in.

I had a great time hanging out with you, and finalizing our deal. Thank you for the warm compliment on my tsunami causing Belly Flop! I may have went down in weight class, but the flop skills can not be beat!

Steve Lightspeed bragged and talked a big game, but left hanging his head in defeat!

BOSbucks is quickly making an impact. You are doing a great job Anthony!

Oh, I cannot forget the beautiful Kelly Kola! Wow! What would you do without her? Everything we talked about, she was there to make sure it was done... right!

I second that !:thumbsup

Dude, we had SO much fun at that dinner! So many laughs! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I would really like to get a good copy of that pic so that I can print it up and frame it... it's a keeper!


AND THANKS FOR THE CHECK JAY!!!!!


:):)

Anthony it was nice spending time with you every morning at Club Sweat! Congrats on the success of BOSBucks:)

Andrew kicked ass :thumbsup Glad he was able to make it to Opera that night.

Great to meet you and great to chat biz. And you are correct in saying that it was an excellent show with quality. I mean after all-I met you didn't I? ;)

I'll send that follow up email to you shortly.

Well said, brotha.

BTW - you truly lucked out ... Kelly = great people!

great to see you guys at the show!!! ATL rocked for sure!!

Cheers Bugbee, wish I could have made it for the Golf.

She's my protege, my shining star, and Best Fucking Friend Forever! :)



Thanks Lori, looking forward to more great things. :):):)



So was I! Autumn and Oscar also made it, which was nice. Good kids, and I'm glad they got to party with us all.

OMG Tonda! I can't believe I did it. From throwing up the night before because of too much tequila at 2am, to working out at 10am. I'm surprised I didn't drop a dumbell on myself!



Shoot me an email and I'll send it out anthony at bosbucks dot com


Yah, she's da bomb. :)



I was pleasantly surprised at great that club was, really nice place!

You ARE THE REIGNING BOSBUCKS 2008 ATLANTA FORUM BELLY FLOP CHAMPION! Next year, I'm gonna have trophies made up. :)

Actually, I gave Andrew and Autumn wristbands earlier that night so that they could get in.

Good people, all of 'em. :thumbsup:thumbsup

Pleasure seeing you Anthony and Kelly:thumbsup

Anthony....

It was truly my pleasure to have you be a part of the first TAF....we loved having you. You know what it means to get out there and do some different things to attract attention to you and your products and that is what makes shows successful for some and not so much for others. I love your dedication to the tasks at hand!

I am sure we are going to see you continue to blow up and get bigger and bigger and I cant wait to see how much you have grown between now and the next TAF!!

Thanks, again, for everything!!
