Adam,

Congratulations on the baby! Babies are fun.

I'm already going, but as an added bonus, I'll buy the winner a drink at the hotel bar.

But nothing over $20 because I've got babies of my own to feed :-)

  I thought it would be quick and easy to enter this contest.
  
  I just want somebody to get use of the ticket.
  
  In a previous life I was a concert promoter, and the amount of tickets that were never used just KILLED me.
  
  An unused ticket is like not getting sex on your birthday; Valentines Day; Your anniversary.
  
  That poor piece of paper (now an electronic bar code) is just waiting for somebody to snuggle with.
  
  It screams, "Please Use Me".
  
  Adam
  
  p.s. I bought Brian's seminar sometime during a presale in november or something when a dated wasn't sent.
  
  I thought it would be more early May than early April, so the baby and mommie would be well enough for me to leave.
  
  Not that I'm complaining.
  
  Thanks

Nice try Bruce, but no cigar.

140 characters exactly:

Going to the event would be an excellent study in human behavior. Inflated egos, pretenders, suckups, and if we're lucky a mental breakdown.

Maybe if you win you can stand sourly in the back of the room, alone, with your arms crossed and judge everyone while everybody else has a great time.

Not my experience, Alex.

I've been to a number if seminars that have been over-run with posers.

But I went to the Warrior Event the year before last and was pleasantly surprised. Friendly bunch of people. Well-attended interactive presentations. Decent enough "MC" too :-)

I think you usually find what you're looking at seminars and events. I extend a lot of down-to-earth hands of friendship at events and I usually get the same reciprocated.

Of course I've bumped into some "characters" too (which is the nice English way of saying "a-holes") but not at the Warrior Forum event.

I've also got a couple clients who I've recommended to attend based on the quality of the event. Both are coming. One is flying all the way from Israel and he hates flying.

Wow Alex. Can you share with the group, exactly how many of these events you've been to?

I've been to more than a dozen and what you're describing is the exception, not the norm. With almost no exceptions, I've found everyone to be pretty cool, approachable and helpful.

There is a bit of what you're describing but I choose not to focus on the parts you focus on.

Joe,

I'm gonna have to PM Brian because on the check out cart there wasn't an upsell for a birthing suite.

All that lost revenue.

But if he did have that option, I'd imagine I would be able to beat Andy's dead head goat story. Maybe. That's pretty hard to beat.

it looks like Bruce is gonna will be default (however, it's an awesome entry that would probably win)

Even lame entries like Alex's are welcome (provided you're trying new material before you go on a club tour.)

Yeah, and you can be damn sure I'm not gonna be one of those "networking my way to success" there.

I'm gunnin' for you, Brian.

Kinda like this guy:

1:30 he breaks free and at 4:00 he goes acoustic.

Actually, nothing's for sure. But I think it'll be a very worthwhile event.

  Well, Ross already offered to buy the first drink for the winner. I'm going to the event already so I'm offering to buy the 2nd drink (same under $20 drink condition that Ross mentioned) for the winner.
  
  Duris... I'd love to see you throw your hat into this contest and do dueling guitars with McLeod.

Rick,

Now that you've won this contest, who's gonna drive you?

Not sexually, mind you.

Like, car driving?

Should I PM you your local dial-a-ride phone number for somebody to take you to airport?

Enjoy the free drinks from Ross and Mike.

And please, send me some pics (better yet, create a youtube video) of you playing guitar.

  Well... I was there. Rick Duris must have never left his hotel room because I never saw him. He sure didn't play guitar with Brian.
  
  Anyway, thanks again to Brian for comping me with a consolation prize. It was an amazing trip. I met a lot of really cool people and had an amazing time... still recovering actually.
  
  It was great to finally meet McCleod and Sam in person, hang out with old friends Mike Humphreys and Vin Montello as well as meet new friends like Jeremy Hunsaker an others.
  
  Brian, you did a great job and were a great host. Thanks

LOL, thanks Marcus...

I actually had a master plan. The band is performing in Charlotte on Friday, and I did my damned best to find a venue in Raleigh for the night of 4/6, but it was too short notice. Still going to try to sneak my way up there for the weekend after the gig if I can scrape up the funds between now and then. Would be great to meet everyone and learn a little in the process (though I can't speak for Rick's abilities, I'm sure Brian would mop the floor with me on the geetar).

Hmmm....

Maybe you all could start a Warrior Forum band and sell it as a WSO.

Walmart sells everything from clothes to car batteries...why can't the WF start selling CD's?

I'll expect a cut of the action since I started the idea

  Bruce, was great to meet you and hang out for a bit as well...
  
  Excellent event, and thanks to you Rick for passing along your ticket! I have quite a few pages of handwritten notes and will follow up with anything you may have an interest in.
  
  The takeaway for me was not so much from a copywriting angle, but from a marketing angle - meeting and learning from so many people in this business that have the grit and determination to figure out what works for them and use that to really make an impact in their lives. Some real "rock stars" there last weekend.
  
  That, and meeting a few of the other copywriters I've talked with and met online finally in person...Bruce, as I mentioned, so great to talk shop with you and be smoking buddies for a bit with you and Xio (BTW I quit Monday ha!)...also getting to finally meet Brian in person, and Mike Humphreys who is such an awesome dude as well. Colin Theriot and his beard, Ross Bowring, Vin Montello, Hans Klein, Mike Schwenk, and anyone else I may be forgetting...thanks to everyone for an inspiring and eye opening couple of days!
