    Yeah, I'm interested in hiking Camelback if you're still interested in doing that. Can you believe I've lived here all these years and haven't hiked it yet? No time like the present!

    We used to play the CASHFLOW game, and teach others how to be creative doing business deals.

    But so many rules have changed (in real life) that I don't think we can use the game as it sits, even w/changes. We'd have to develop a whole new set of cards-- no bank loans, creative financing, partnering, etc.

    I'm a pretty mean scrabble player. I prefer words w/friends, tho. Faster game, and higher scores.

    But I think the majority of the group is into competitive drinking both as a team sport, and with relay teams (dancing at halftime) . . .

    Just my luck. I guess I can yell "chug, chug" pretty well and do the carlton at halftime.

    This will be more then sufficient!

    Don't worry - the stories are a bit exaggerated... kind of...

    I know Lighthouse has been working on his carlton, and so has snowbank, we may all have to square off and have a carlton off

    I'm here!-- just got in.

    I've already called the Scottsdale Police Department. They're putting on extra patrols tonight.

    Kenric has my phone # if you need it, or PM me w/yours (fastlane message), if you need something. I will check them after dinner, tonight.

    I'm told a group of fastlaners are getting together for dinner in Old Town Scottsdale tonight.

    Note to all: See you at the Chapparal Suites tomorrow morning-- I'll be there by 8:30, y'all should be there by 9:00 am.

    Address:

    Chapparal Suites
    5001 Scottsdale Rd
    Scottsdale, AZ 85250
    (480) 949-1414

    And so it begins . . .

    On my way over to the Scottsdale Doubletree:

    5401 N. Scottsdale Rd.
    Scottsdale
    (480) 947-5400

    Hoping to find a few fastlaners before the cops beat me to it.

    Hah-- so many were already there. Good times!

    But we all had to chuckle . . . 6 feet away from us at the Doubletree bar, another meeting was taking place. Robert Kiyosaki was there with some folks. A few fastlaners wanted to flashmob him, and stand behind him holding up "L"s on our foreheads while someone snapped a pic.

    But we didn't want to get arrested our first night here . . . (we're saving that for Saturday night, right Bobby?)

    AnneC- Diamonds- Flawed product, perfect marketing. Enough diamonds mined for every man, woman, and child to have 1 1/2 cups of GEMSTONE quality diamonds (not manmade). Actual price if open market would be $2 to $30 per karat. "Only way to increase value is to make them scarce"- Ernest Oppenheimer. Debeers

    -Create monopoly (buy up all supply, both mines and competitors stocks)
    -Control distribution chain
    -Price fixing (anti-trust, can't do that anymore, so let's learn about how to market them!).

    Marketing: Celeb endorsements (Marylin Monroe, diamonds at Oscars, "A Diamond is Forever"-- within 3 years, 80+% of American women had diamond rings (this was not the case before DeBeers marketing kicked in).

    A country steeped in tradition:

    1967: Japan: Less than 5% of women have diamond rings

    1990: Japan: More than 80% women have diamond rings

    China, India, Hong Kong. . . . all markets that are growing and will pass US markets in a few years.

    New products: Tennis bracelet, 3 diamond ring (past/present/future), Right Hand Ring (for women who don't want to wait for an engagement ring).

    I'll stop. So much more to Anne's presentation. This is amazing.
