Patrick, you are first class ! you worked your butt off to pull off a great show, we need more like you in the world! Steve and I both thank you very much for the oppertunity to be a part of such a great effort. Both of us were quite humbled at being asked to speak and at how nice we were treated and will not forget, the whole MSBA Crew was nothing but friendly and accomidating and helpfull and the "After party" Sat. Night was legendary!

I also want to thank JohnR For running the slide show and taking care of last minute computer glitches! Thanks.

Bill & Steve - great show you guys did and today's was the most packed of any shows that I saw there.

Good job...

Mike P · 03-27-2006, 11:12 AM

Good seeing you again Bill. I caught bits and pieces of your seminar, trying to keep one eye on John's booth and one on the talk. Nice job.

Good luck with the new boat.

chris L · 03-27-2006, 02:15 PM

Bill you did a very good job for a show rookie ( only busting them ) . Very informative and well presented . I didnt see Steve talk but caught his act in Newport .

Patrick does a great job putting these very tough shows together .

eelman · 03-27-2006, 02:25 PM

Nice meeting you ChrisL, I am new at this and it is not easy seeing things from the other side. I tried my best to get out everything I could but after, I remembered things I forgot to say etc.. In time it will get better, The other thing that was nagging me the whole time was leaving steve enough time to do his talk so it was a little rushed. I had a blast doing it and Patrick was awesome making sure everything went smooth!

piemma · 03-27-2006, 02:56 PM

Don't worry about Steve having enogh time to talk. You can't shut him up....

In The Surf · 03-27-2006, 07:30 PM

Bill you did a great job in the short time you spoke. Covered the basics and what you feel about your style makes you so succeesful. Always good to hear Steve speak, I've caught several of his presentations and always seem to walk away with something to consider. I love it when he says "you can throw a danny or needle till the paint comes off ".

Hey Bill It was good to meet you, I didn't catch your show I was busy and I hope to see it in RI this weekend.

Clammer · 03-27-2006, 10:05 PM

it sucks

Karl F · 03-28-2006, 06:37 AM

I babysat the SB booth on Sunday, so John could go see the talk, I got bits and piesces as we were right out side the area. From what I heard #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, you gave a good talk, and what a crowd you had! Spilling out into the aisle, and they were all listening intently. Was good to meet you and Steve.

John, make sure you get that sticker to Bill, before RISSA...
(and, if your running the power point show for him again.. slip the image from the bumber sticker in there somewhere

)

Missed ya Clammah, U musta been undercovers again

I thought Ally was around, and we swapped kid pictures. But it was so long ago, I could have it confused with someone else
