i just learned how to embed.. here's the video that KB had linked to.. funny prank call

Fight the learning to fish!

i vouch for good old Würstchen & Sauerkraut :thumbsup

Covert marketing operation "Circle Jerk" is a go...

How was lunch Chris?
See you soon!

Chris I know you are not racist but the comments you are making in reference to middle eastern food makes you sound like you are definitely taking a stab at the issue.



just my :2 cents::2 cents:

Both shows are top notch and industry leaders! Both on my list to attend, although i have been extremely busy and wasnt able to attend Internext this year in Florida. Will be attending future ones....

I think : Xbiz Summer, Awards, Internext, Phoenix Forum and Webmaster Access are the best ones i enjoy!

Competition is always healthy for everyone....it gives people the prospective on you and your competitors. Everyone has preferences and some people make some shows and sometimes miss them....its not wise to blame eachother during tough times for anything. We all have known eachother for a long time, worked together and party together, i dont know of details in relationships but keep good business practices especially during tough times sets your standards of who you are :-) and that itself will pay off....NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO BURN ANY BRIDGES IN THIS INDUSTRY. Or you will only be hurting yourself in the long run....and then next thing you know it, your out of the industry! I have seen this happen many times with others in my 20 years in the industry....

Chris and Alec i apologies for personally not attending the Internext show in Florida this time and the Xbiz Summer show, but we have been planning for WorldWideContent's future and growth. We will be attending shows and participating more aggressively in the near future as we ride through the vast changes....


Thanks to both shows and without you guys we wouldnt be in business :-)

I think I should go eat a bagel now.

Suddenly I have an urge.

I'm about to go holla at some hallah, myself.

Im going to play it save and have a cheese burger.

Israeli, Lebanese, most middle eastern foods are similar and all delicious. Nothing like some good muchentuchen!

I'll have an everything bagel, scooped, lightly toasted w/ lox, cream cheese, tomato, cucumber and capers, please.

Thanks in advance!

Excellent post. Bury the hatchet alec. Sorry about the food jokes, I was really hungry.

LOL - Ice Cube in my Ice Tea....

That's my favorite! Yummy! How does such a little caper have so much flavor????? :upsidedow

I agree with my furry Iranian buddy..

Lox is @ $19/lb (16 oz) but I love it

:warning Being ingenuous doesn't help your case.

Isnt that disingenuous? Or did you mean ingenius?

And not sure what my case is..... I was simply trying to start a dialouge. Your the onewho flamed me. I am just a hard working sales person, you are a company owner. Really you should leave this for your staff.

Of course.


It's dialog.


I simply gave you a hard time about an undiplomatic public comment - there's a big difference.


I am from the Internet generation Chris. :winkwink:

god i miss new york. you just made me home sick. lol

fuckin a right!
:thumbsup

OY, dont forget the Lox and while you are eating, take a look at the pics from the show:pimp

Please leave me out of this JFK!

Oy--

:upsidedow

By caper, do you mean an actual caper or are you referring to J$tyle$? :1orglaugh

This thread took a short cut thru some food ideas, i like it..:):thumbsup

Just for the record I was actually asking you to lunch to discuss ideas. Sushi would have been fine too.

Cheers.

No doubt! Next time you're in L.A. hit me up and let's hit a deli :)

How could you not? And next time I'm in Long Island i'll give you more notice, fucker!

Me too! I was back in Brooklyn a few weeks ago for the first time in ages. Had some of the best bagels in years ... and pizza .. and Italian sea food, etc.

:1orglaugh she has to mean both :pimp

I think I'm going to hit Western Bagels in the morning now LOL

Good idea. Bagels are on me as well this morning.

:thumbsup

wow really
or i am just gullible
think it would be awesome to be able to hear the seminar speak
wondering how he will compensate for the face time

Ok so, assuming that...

- You genuinely want to discuss ideas
- You are completely committed to your media partners

then I'd say using a public forum such as this one would probably be best - this way our event partners can also get involved so that no party is put at a disadvantage. Also, we could get feedback on the ideas from supporting companies and attendees.

So, if you agree, then I welcome you to start the discussion by posting some of your ideas either in this thread or in a new one (perhaps Julius could start it).



Alec

yallah, im cooking on friday then.

im making so much fucking tabouleh im going to feed a small african country, habibi!

One new thread coming up:thumbsup:thumbsup

As per your suggestion Alec, here it is :thumbsup
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=921296

I actually missed this part of the thread. Anytime Alec

You better do it early in the day, you won't be in any shape to do it later :winkwink:

See ya at midnight!

What got resolved here...
Should we look forward to the next show...Xbiznext?

LOL How about Nextbiz

I just grabbed a LB myself to snack on after my workout:thumbsup BTW, I can't believe this "movie" is still playing...jeeeeesh

Wow, this is still going on ?

you guys are making me laugh....if i was not so busy i would help put together a "Free Network show" or close to free......simple and effective.

This thread should not be here, what should happen is you folks should figure out how to save your shows in private. Figure out what went wrong and how to improve ....not fight and talk about food :2 cents:

How are you going to fix something if you don't get the feedback from the people that make them happen?

Remember, we are all in this Biz together.

Dave your right...shall i lead off?

1. Badges at the shows for 300 dollars is a joke

2. Panel speakers need to be people who know what they are talking about or get rid of some of the panels if you cant fill them

3. over prices cabana, booths, and banners - shrinking show attendance does not mean price should go up, should come down to what its realistic

4. Xbiz Marrott woodland hills? was a bad choice, Roosevelt was amazing and classy, style points big time...

5. Pool at Xbiz /Hard Rock...pool music was so loud could not even hear who i was talking to in any of the cabanas, this is a feeling that was shared by most people i talked to...Music is good but at that level, was almost funny...

Really think that the formula that Xbiz and AVN is trying to top each other etc...is an old school, ancient outdated way of doing business in todays world.

I realize its a business the "trade show" business, but its shrinking, and not looking good, to stay on course these ideas above are a start...but there is alot more that these groups need to do. I know of some groups that are setting up "gatherings" in selected hotels around the world for invited companies....

Anyway this was some things I have thought of, i hope that they are looked at as "constructive criticism"....I dont care who puts the shows on, i just want to see "great shows" dazzle us....make us want to come again......:)
