Yep, I pretty much feel the same way.

 

 

You'd think it would get more people to register and pay the registration fee

 

I would love to attend but thats a ******* haul from MD and I'm broke

 

Sounds good, but I have to agree with Justin.

It's to far for me.

 

Come on, what's a few extra hours driving between friends



I'm about to make the event even more hard to resist over the next few days. Finalizing what I hope are deals with Pettit and Rotary Performance soon. And just waiting for the write-ups for press releases on the next two session/seminar speakers.
