The LA show reaked of party, little biz from the start. Lens is known flor throwing parties for the kids of the biz. It was promoted that way IMHO. That is why did not send a person.

Brad,
I think you got the wrong impression of the LA show, while I must admit that I'm lame now and don't get oblivously drunk I thought the show was very productive from a business standpoint. I thought the seminars were top-notch and very informative, I learned some things about the new Visa regs I didn't have a chance to brush up on yet. In addition I think the overall networking aspect of it was great, reminded me of the old Orlando shows were everyone just kinda hung out and chatted. Had great small dinners both nights with friends and attended both parties, was in bed both nights by 3 so looks like I mised out on the destruction but I can tell you this, if they woke my sober ass up to throw me outta the hotel I wouldn't have been a happy camper. Only ones I saw doing drugs were the celebs in Hollywood on Friday when I went out after the party does that count? Send someone to the next show in Feb to report back for you, was a great show in my opinion and sounds like it for everyone else save for the few idiots.
