I knew there was a reason I was crying...not getting to see the guys in their bike shorts!  I wish I could have gone this year, but I"m just busy...good thing, bad thing when you want to meet the AR gang!  You all will have so much fun. Think of us.  Hey, feel free to send photos of the bikers, lol.

Guys...

You need to quit promising the Members Tee Shirts and not delivering. Some of us have been waiting more than two years for tees :)

TLW...ROAR!

Rich,

Thanks for the post and all of the killer reasons to be there. The south and west coast have been getting much play. Unfortunately, I won't be. However, there's still an opportunity to repeat the format in New York for Inman News. Now is that on the agenda?

Lane:  That is so true! I was amazed at how many people came to Orlando, but had no intention of attending anything related to the NAR Conference.
