Phoenix Forum - You going ?

[TheEnforcer]

I highly doubt I'll go but I've heard nothing but good things aboutt he show from a vast majority of people. That said, mileage may vary from person to person on shows.

The question on GFY with someone asking if Phoenix is open bar is telling.

Obviously the originator of that question is going to base his decision on whether to attend on whether he can get free liquor or not. Business is irrelevent. And he's probably in the majority.

I think the folks at CCBill do a great job with the show and clearly demonstrate wondeful hospitality. For them, it's a great branding exercise. But the thing is you cant scale it, there's a limit to how much good will (and good liquor) anyone can give away. And I've gotta think it's tougher and tougher to get decent money out of other sponsors.

The percentage of free loaders in attendance and location will again keep me away. I hate those long flights to the west coast, I'll do it for Vegas because I enjoy Vegas regardless of the show. And if I cant even stay on site or at least within easy walking distance of the show hotel, I'm not even considering it.

I tried to book at the show hotel online and on the phone and it was already sold out well within the hour after registration officially opened, and the nearby overflow hotel was also sold out for Friday by that time also. I am on the waiting list at the main hotel, but unless I get a call for a room I am not going to go either as much as I want to.

I need to remind LAJ to talk to Connor about the quailty of fun there is to be had when you mix freeloaders in.

You get quality advice such as, "Hey dude - did you know that guys that wear white socks under boots get laid 3 times less?

I know Jay dont remember he was kind of . . . busy.

Its ok Jay me and Conner abused your friends asshole limo driver.
He ended up waiting back in the car.
