one thing i would skip: at the only real estate seminar i ever attedned, after every break, they would play loud, corny music and you'd have 2 minutes to collect X amount of business cards...that's not my style--i'd rather talk to people and get to know them, but peole were running around throwing cards at people and leaving, never remembering names or looking at faces

Incidentally, The Madison Square Garden ownership group teamed up with Irving Azoff (those of you into music will recognize that name) to totally refurbish the FORUM arena and now mega bands like the Eagles, Phish etc have played many nights there. 

I feel like a real dummy looking at all of these lengthy and very well composed posts ;)Typing = My achilles lolAlso, loving the heat on this thread :)Thanks and have a great day.

If you ever played sports it's very exciting.It's probably the same high you get Ben listening to music and playing.

My wife runs a music school, and I have www.JustAskBenWhy.com and lately I've been thinking about ratcheting up both of those...Just got an eMail - 220 units.  

I have a background in Audio Engineering and Music Production, plus day jobs with benefits.

This just reinforces your concept that only the big boys will be holding the cards when the music stops. 

Live music and bbq for the win.

Be up front.So, if this is how this has happened, you need to face the music.

Welome Dave, okay, you're a music guy, there are 8 dancing ladies on the stage lined up, the first one is facing you, the second has her back to you, next is facing you, next is facing away, next is facing you and the last 3 are facing away from you.
