people seem to agree with people when they are in a good mood, its human nature.. difficult for the affiliate to say NO to you in person, so he just says yes, and he never follows through...

the only guys i see making good deals are probably hosting companies like mojo, and maybe one or two top affiliate companies, the rest of the people: their bank accounts will be the same this year, with or without the show
In the past I would have agreed with this, but not this time. The last few shows have had pretty good follow through. And I made sure to meet with the "right" people.
