Any UN-Offical gatherings on Thursday night?

If not, should we put together a happy hour ......or two ......or three. Any suggestions?

We usually meet for dinner at a local restaurant but not sure if that has been discussed yet.

I will be having a night cap in one of the bars at the resort Thursday evening around 10PM. Check this thread and I will post where I am at.

Funny I came to this thread to ask about Thursday night dinner at that same place we always have Thursday night dinner at...

However, I can't remember the name and I can offer nothing in regards to info... Soooo @Red?

I think it was at the Yard House in the past, but that probably doesn't make sense now that the conference has moved.

The place that ripped off everyone's credit cards?

No that was somewhere else. I think a bar?

I think that was Firehouse, but I believe that placed closed.

Yes, they closed and the whole ring of scammers was taken down.

And yard house, that's it. But you are right the conference is much further away now, totally forgot about that.

Thanks to a lot of you for some GREAT new member introductions today! I look forward to seeing you all in Phoenix.

 

[Guest12120]

Just checked-in for my flight. They let me check in super early so at least I could pick a good seat for the longest flight
Tomorrow heading to Warsaw, then Thursday 6 am to Paris, then to Atlanta, then to Phoenix. Can't wait to see everyone!

 

[Travis Phipps]

Wheels down at 10:35am on Thursday, meeting up with @Eskil at resort at noon.

Can't wait to see everyone again...and meet some new folks!

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

See you in a couple of days.

You got it, ma'am. We should probably all meet up at one of the many bar options at TSR. If people want something different, there's always Uber, but the casino has so many options, I'm sure we can find a place to suit everyone.

I think that was Firehouse, but I believe that placed closed.

Correct again! It was actually the IT support staff that serviced the Firehouse's POS (ha) system that was perpetrating the fraud/theft. They added our multiple instances to the instances that the prosecution used in bolstering their case against those assholes. So victory for the good guys.

Can't wait for the meet-up. Leaving MN at 7 am for Phoenix tomorrow couldn't be more excited!

Extra notebooks packed

Only three days left to the event I have looked forward to for a year and a half. I feel blessed to be able to listen to all the speakers and to network with entrepreneurs with the fastlane mindset.

Here is my intro from two years ago.

I was not a proud man when I told myself that I could not join last year's event due to $30k in credit card debt and a failing business with minimal sales.

Luckily, my wife started a progress thread on this forum just around that time. We got totally flamed for making minimal progress and for having the wrong mindset (which was spot on). We felt like giving up. My health gave in and I ended up in the hospital due to immense stress.

Somehow we found the strength to continue, and despite making mistakes continously (lessons I would never want to be without!), we have managed to turn it around to the point where we have two employees and are actively outsourcing more and more tasks to respect the commandment of TIME.

I do not want to even think about where we would be right now if it wasn't for the Fastlane forum and MJ's book.

Looking forward to meet all of you there!

Wow, the excitement for the event only just hit me! Will be touching down on Thu at 6:30pm from The Land of Canadia.

I'm a lurker by nature, but here's my intro posted a month or so ago. Thankfully, wayyy more outgoing in person! https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/re-introduction-attending-the-2016-summit.64402/

My fastlane is Twitch (video game) streaming and social media (feel free to bug me about those topics at the event!). Four months into it after quitting my slowlane job and it's been going well! There's always room to grow and learn more though. I'm looking forward to learning from you all and to hopefully add value in any way I can!

Looking forward to meeting everyone! I'll be the guy wearing soccer jerseys. And talking about soccer. A lot.

For anyone interested, Priceline has some cheap cheap cheap rental cars. I picked up a mid-sized car from Thursday-Sunday for like $14/day plus tax. All in for less than a round trip in a cab/uber.

 

[BaraQueenbee]

Packed (50 lbs to be precise), need to be prepared.
In few hours off to airport, arriving Thursday night.

Can't wait!!!!

*duh duh duhhhhhh*

Everyone traveling be safe, and have good travels!

I still find it hard to believe that I'm finally going to the Summit.

Will love to meet everyone, MJ's book and this forum has changed and shaped my life. I read the book around 6 years ago, I still remember laying in bed the first time I read it; I was a bit too young back then, but gave the book a good 2nd read and joined the forum some time after. It all seemed so distant, I could relate, I could understand it, but, could it actually be real, could it one day become my reality? This happened between 15 to 17 y old, It was a major stepping stone to be able to define and become who I want/wanted to be.

Can't thank you enough. Looking forward to seeing you all, even though I may be the biggest introvert at the summit, I'll do my best

Leaving Portugal in 24 hours, Landing at 6pm and I'll be splitting an Airbnb with @nayR between the airport and the casino. We're thinking of exploring a bit and grabbing a bite, would love to meet up already with other fastlaners

Anyone knows where can I get a cheap/decent Data SIM card for 3 days close to the airport?

F*cking excited

Ladies and gentlemen,

Some weeks ago someone asked me I would bring books for sale to the event and I said I could do that. I don't remember who asked, but I promised I would bring some. For attendees they will be available at just $5 a piece (which is the INSIDERS bulk price and 50% under wholesale price).

If anyone wants to buy one (or a few) please let me know as I would like to plan by bringing enough copies, but not too many copies cuz the cases are kinda heavy. (I am staying at the casino.)

Thanks a bunch!

Getting excited!!
