I’m finally back home in Oz after attending the Internet Marketing Seminars in Las Vegas in May and June 2009.

I have to say that I met some of the most wonderful and postive people at these seminars. I will be adding more names and details later but some of the people who I interacted with were:

  • Paula Brett (a VERY funny lady & voddie glugging champion - LOL!),
  • Dagmar Sedlack,
  • Lesley Morgan,
  • Garry Parkes (you’re all class Gazza - even for a Pom! I mean British gentleman…),
  • Bobby Winchell,
  • Jeff Yung,
  • Nikki Stephens (biggest tea drinker in the world),
  • Adam Spiel (Spielsy - you were great driving us all over the place that day - thank you so much!),
  • Alex Jeffreys (himself, of course),
  • Dean Holland,
  • Dan Briffa (I wanna EAT it!),
  • Thomas Northrup,
  • JT Martin,
  • Ross Carrel (did I get the spelling right Ross?),
  • Michael Ottman (you’re another funny person Michael - that giggle amused me no end!),
  • John Halderman,
  • Petra (dunno your last name darls so I’m saying it’s Fied - LOL),
  • Rob (Cecil B demille) Brookes,
  • Graham Sutherland,
  • Paul Klein,
  • Robert (dunno your last name either Robert),
  • Lance Tamashiro (and your wife whose name also escapes me - sorry),
  • David Shaw,
  • Sandra Rodrigues (darling) and
  • Jit Uppal (Jit Kune Do - you have to know about Bruce Lee to understand that).

    Now I know I have missed some people out. Please don’t be offended. I am SO jet-lagged and only just had 8 hours sleep after arriving home from Las Vegas to Los Angeles (a 1.5 hour flight with a 4 hour stop over) then LAX to Brisbane, Australia (a 14.5 hour flight with a 2 hour stopover) then Brisbane to Perth (a 5 hour flight). Then my kids insisted on coming over to see me so I had to stay awake for another 4 hours talking (semi-consciously) to them. When you add all this up (including waking up in the morning to pack, leave the hotel and get to McCarran airport in Vegas the wait for the flight to LA - 12 hours) it comes to 43 hours awake. I can’t sleep on planes.

    Ugh! Just on that… sorry to say this but I sat next to a lady from LA to Oz who must have been the world champion pie-eater, or something. She didn’t even fit in HER bloody seat! Her “extra bits” were rolling into my seat and she frikken SNORED while sharing her considerable self with me. GOD! Also, I had a rugby player on the other side of me and well, I ain’t exactly small myself. Then, there was this little sh*t in front of my seat who must have had ADHD and who was using his seat as a trampoline and who CONTINUALLY hung over his seat to annoy me and the rugby player and the Michelin tire pin-up girl. Oh, and then there was the guy behind me who kept kicking my seat. Yeah… it was FUN!

    Anyway, enough of that! The seminars, meetings…

    Oh, before I launch into them - Theresa Mayhew… what a lovely lady! “Trees” posted me a big box of gingerbread cookies to share with the folks at the seminar. I have to admit that I ate about 6 of them before they even got to the seminar. I put them right by the coffee machine in the meeting room and invited people to fang into them. Now I KNOW that Lance reckons he didn’t get any but…

    … Lance, seriously, how could you NOT know they were there? Especially since me and Parkesy and Paula Brett and Nikki Stephens arrived fashionably late (thanks girls!) and we caused such a disruption (sorry Alex!) to the meeting while we introduced ourselves around.

    A little aside here too - those LOVELY folks at the Luxor Hotel Casino charged me $7.00 to pick those cookies up! Jeez, as if they didn’t make a sh*tload off me for the hotel accommodation and the “resort fee” - whatever that is and the food and the drinks and the internet connection and all the other charges and taxes!

    The meetings… hmm, they all seem a bit of a blur right now (as does everything) but I do have my notes - somewhere! And… I have looked and I can’t find them at the moment. Duh! I KNOW they are here somewhere!

    The BEST part of all of this was MEETING the people. Finally meeting all of the people that I have been interacting with over the internet was a real blessing. And not only have I made so many friends - I am doing (or will be doing) business with quite a few of them!

    But let me back the truck up for a moment…

    I think I was the first one to arrive in Las Vegas - just ahead of Dean Holland and Dan Briffa. Dean and Dan were booked into the New York, New York Casino Hotel, as were most of the others. I booked into the (luxury) Luxor (the pyramid shaped one with the laser beam at the apex - which supposedly shoots 10 miles into the night sky - attracting aliens, no doubt) coz I have stayed there before and I liked it - plus I knew my way through the labyrinth of hotel floors and walkways between them all.

    Anyway, I walked over several times to see if the boys had arrived and after the third attempt they finally did arrive and we got together. Well, what a madcap few hours we had after that. I was so jet-lagged and hmm… I guess I just went a “bit” silly. Dean and Dan and I made a lot of videos of the crazy times we had. They will all end up on you tube and the blogs soon but, watch out for scenes including:

  • - the (so called) homeless guy on the bridge between the Excalibur and New York, New York casinos - I decided that we should each give him a crispy (US $1.00). This scene is already in a composite video that is up at You-Tube - watch out for the comments about “moths” and “you’re not a millionaire in disguise, are you?” We laughed ourselves stupid over that and attracted a fair bit of attention from the bemused pedestrians (read that as drunks - almost EVERYBODY is staggering around with some sort of booze in their hand - mostly those giant yard glasses full of margueritas!) You can see that “moth” clip here: MOTHS (Go to 2:24 to 2:33) There is a fuller version here: GIVING $$$ TO THE HOMELESS DUDE & MOTHS FLYING OUT OF BRIFF’S WALLET (Go to 4:21 to 5:57)

  • - the scene at the Aquarium at the Mandalay Casino (Dan wanted to go there coz he likes fish - in fact, he wants to EAT them all) where they were crapping on about the black-tipped, black-finned shark, so named because it has black tips on its tail and fins. Well, that just got on my nerves so I had to give the REAL explanation of the name! You can see that “shark” and “manta ray” clip here: SHARKS & MANTA RAYS (Go to 2:58 to 3:33)

  • - My ridiculous rendition of Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time” - brought about by a poster of her that I saw at Caesar’s Palace. I decided to do her dance and then “throw” my leg up over a travellator rail like she did on that battleship in the video clip. Duh! You can see that “Cher” clip here: WATCH OUT CHER! (Go to 2:33 to 2:46) WARNING: This is disturbing!

  • - the “ALIEN” scene as we were coming out of that aquarium where I grabbed a toy octopus and attacked Dan in the chest with it (much to the annoyance of the shop owner). Clip coming…

  • - the “diamond” encrusted tricycle in the shop window. That is the one that Dan is gonna buy when he becomes a world famous Internet Marketer. Clip coming…

    • Oh dear! These were just a few of the madcap moments that Dean and Dan and I captured on video the first day.

    Oh, back to work, I also managed to make about 15 short videos on Internet Marketing at the various casino locations. Some of them are actually quite good and they give decent Internet Marketing tips. But some of them are just more madness. As Marshall Sylver (the hypnotist) at Mike Filsaime’s seminars said: “Funny is money.” So, I’ll just wait for it all to start rolling in.

    Anyway, I will have a LOT more to say soon. And I will be uploading a lot of those videos and photos for you all to see. I am facing a LOT of work here (including having to take over a $100,000 pa franchise that one of my franchisees decided to walk away from while I was in the US - don’t ask. There is a world recession on - apparently - and one of my guys decides that he doesn’t want this money).

    More to come…
