Looking forward to see you again Michael. You had some great
ideas that you were sharing in the bar/social at NAMS.

I thought that I was at least 10 years older. I need to find out
YOUR secret

Maybe working on my laptop sitting on the Florida beach is too
stressful for me. What do you think?

Thank you Phil. I'll spend it hanging out with friends.

That has to make it happy :-)

Interesting niche that you have... taps into perhaps our strongest
instinct :-)

Looking foward to chatting with you Jani.

Willie

That settles it ---I'm going.

If anybody sees a pony-tailed-biker-looking-seminar-noobie roaming around looking like he is lost - please guide me in the right direction. --Thanks!

I am making Willie a card and bringing it to the birthday bash - PLEASE SIGN HIS BIRTHDAY CARD!!! I'm hoping to get at least 50 signatures. This is the link to the thread posted here in the forum:

Don’t Read this if your name is Willie Crawford!

And you can go directly to the post on my blog to sign the card by adding a comment - here's that link:

Don't Read this if your name is Willie Crawford | roeypimentel.com

It's a great way especially for the folks who won't be attending to be able to send him a little birthday wish.

Peace,

Roey.

Hoping to go, too! My writing workshop uses Willie's paperback book, "Git off the porch!" And the workshop attendees want to go -- they're male inmates in a re-entry program in a State prison. Now to just get the warden to agree to a road trip


And hey, gotta meet the guy in person who created this cool toe-tappin' tune on his site:

motivational speaker - keynote speaker - Sam Crowley Sam Crowley, the Every Day is Saturday guy, a speaker there

OK that tears it!

You weren't supposed to tell everybody
what kind of a crowd will be coming.

The hotel already told him about the 55
gallons of cool whip I ordered.

At least they didn't tell him what, uh.. I mean
who will be jumping out of the cake.

Maybe they thought I was kidding??

It's shaping up to be THE networking event
of the year...

Ok, I won't read it. I like surprises.

I'm looking forward to seeing you and Gene again.

The hotel is 10-15 minutes from Disneyland and probably
has a free shuttle bus there. I negotiated special discount
room rates and they offered to extend those rates for a
few days before and after my birthday bash

The weather should be very nice then and several attendees
have already told me that they're turning it into a family
vacation!

I'm going to try like heck to be there. Depends on one other thing before I can commit...

Won't be bringing the family though...kids are still in school and we're bringing them in the summer.

Hi Mike,

It will be great seeing you again. The networking will make
it well worth it. Don't think I've met you kids.

This is shaping up to be HUGE :-)

Willie

[Vinden Grace]

Have a great birthday Willie!
Sadly, I won't be able to make it as I'm busy in Brussels at that time, but the Florida sunshine (& the networking ;-) ) sounds mighty appealing! Have a fab time everyone! Vinden

I sure am glad you like surprises....

Can't wait 'till the roast starts.

There will be PLENTY of surprises Friday night

Is your tux machine washable??

[Chris Lockwood]

This is weird- I've posted the link on Twitter a few times, and I have at least 3 people telling me it looks like a "scam site" - whatever that is.

I keep asking them what about it makes them think that, because it looks like a normal sales page to me, and I'm curious what would make people think a regular site was a scam.

So far haven't been able to get a straight answer as to what they mean- can anyone tell from looking at the site?

[jms.mrtn]

Happy Bday willie wish I could make it hope it all goes well

[KathleenGageSpeaks]

I will definitely be there. I am speaking on Sunday morning. It's going to be a hot event and lots of great networking opportunities. Finally a chance to meet many of my colleagues I have known for some time and have not met face to face.

Willie and I had a great conversation tonight where we talked about what people can expect at his Bash.

Looking forward to meeting you too Kathleen.

I'll have to point my list members to the recording
from out conversations.

It's going to be very powerful... tons of joint venture
opportunities.

[Chris Endres]

It was suggested that I rent a tux for the event and I do realize it is a formal event,.. but I just couldn't resist. Formal has many definitions and I will be dressed to the hilt...

You should come down to sunny Florida and join us.



As a dozen former moderators will tell you, not always
an easy job. Often, a voice of reason was not what people
wanted :-)



Always great to meet a subscriber, especially one who
uses pen names so you won't even notice that he's
watching you :-)

Willie

I will try to pop down Willie, I'm been invited to Dave Lakhani's mastermind getaway on the first of April in Florida which is going to be explosive for me.

Having the change to meet Dave, and Terri Levine is shocking indeed. Truly the universe is opening up with the attraction factor.

Since I will be in Florida and in your neck of the woods, why not come and visit with you as well and perhaps mastermind along the beach one day.

Let me know your thoughts on that one, you can PM me if your still following the thread.

To your continued online success,

Peter,

[ideasuniversity]

Sorry I cannot attend, i live in South Africa. I hope the photos and video of the event will be put on your website?

Hey Chris,

The panelists for the roast are the only folks who have
to wear a tux....besides the guest of honor :-)

But you can come dressed like that....

I may have to rethink my attire after that!

David

[Elmer Hurlstone]

I'll be there!

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you who I know only through a picture and a few words in a post.

To those of you still trying to decide if it's worthwhile attending a live event, the answer is YES!

While online association is great nothing beats looking someone in the eye and shaking their hand.

I'm also pleased to announce that Willie Crawford and David Preston have appointed me, "The Official Willie Crawford Birthday Bash Photographer."

So, you mean, I get to wear my TIARA?

Peace,

Roey.

Some of us may be wearing toga's....
I guess that would look good with a tiara?

BTW There are major players who got in touch
with me and are coming.

They're not speaking at the event, but just
want to be there to help celebrate

You never know who you'll be sitting beside you
in the audience. (Bring your product ideas!)

I'm also getting requests for major networking
get togethers at the event...

David
