If you were there. Well I really don’t need to say anything. If you weren’t, sorry.

Sponsors, We Love You!! Thank you so much for putting up some dough, so the guys could have such a good time. I still don’t know if it made a profit, or lost money, but profit was never the objective with this. The goal was achieved of putting on the second best conference Beach Party of all times!! (GO TO ELITE RETREAT WHICH I THINK WAS #1 WHEN YOU SEE IT ADVERTISED)

I asked people to be totally honest in their surveys.

THINGS THAT NEED TO IMPROVE FOR NEXT TIME

Even though every survey I did indicated that people wanted things really loose and casual, I (probably the only one in the world with the guts to push it so far) actually was able to make the schedule a little too loose, unpredictable and flexible. I am actually proud that I found the edge on this one! HA! So next time there will be at a minimum a map, a schedule, and some prediction such as what to wear, and what type of thing it is, ie: sports, outside, inside, bathing suit, your wife wouldn’t want you to be there, etc.

Also, Sunday activity just before dinner was absolutely loved by some, and others would have preferred to have known about it, and had an alternate activity during that time.

9:00 Cameron has surfing down by the tent.
10:00 Breakfast first opens. An amazing crepe place, three blocks south of the hotel.

You can arrive there up until 11:30.

Call me if you get out of step with the group!

Much Love,

Meet in the hotel lobby at 10:00 if you are up.
If you are not up then, call me when you wake up!
We have a great breakfast place, and we will probably be serving between 10:00 a.m. and maybe 12 if everyone is up???

Dress Casual.

If you have a car, plan on having it in front of the hotel lobby at 1:00 to transport to fight club. The more cars, the less trips we are taking. Also if someone can talk the hotel into driving a load in the hotel van, that will help. Call me and let me know!!

If you want to help me re-stock, I am going on a supplies run at 9:15 and could use some non broken bodies.

I am also going to pick up a surfboard, so we always have at least one at camp.

So far, day 2, and out of about 56 people we only have had two fatalities. I think we are doing pretty good!

I love you guys so much!!
This thing is just so fricken awesome!!!

Meet in the hotel lobby for breakfast at 10:00.

Dress casual for a great breakfast.

If you are running late, just call me on my cell, and I will direct you!

This is a love letter to a select group of the internet business industry.
Thank you for giving me one of the best days of my life.
Very little sleep this week.
Working harder and faster than I ever have in my life.
This morning, I was averaging about 1 incoming phone call per minute for about an hour.
Sitting on a surfboard, the water just glistening, and dancing, looking to my side and seeing Cameron Oltheus pushing an SEO into a wave, and then him looking at me and smiling, and realizing that for me and Cameron at that exact moment, we were both officially at work!
Met Gregg, who just with a handshake blows you away with his warmth and his power.
Realizing again how very creative, and intelligent Shoemoney is.
Watching Neil Patel doing mad electric scooter rides.
Having the sun bust out, and watching 20 of my favorite people break into a spontaneous football game, seeing amazing plays, a gigantic diving catch by Sean of SEMJ.org, so many pretty girls, so much fun, getting to give chiropractic adjustments to many.
Having Planet C1, Michael, do a ton of great chiropractic.
Realizing that an itinerary is cool, but if everyone is happy, just let them do what they are doing.
A Werewolf game with tons of disney like holoween decorations, and people laughing until they couldn’t take it.
Realizing I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight.
Meeting the pro fighters, and their coach Shawn Tompkins again, and really having it hit home, how Randy Couture is a true champ in every sense of the word, and such a truly loving family of fighters he has put together.
So full of gratitude to Pamela Lund, Neil Patel, and Shoemoney, for connecting me to all these great people.
Realizing that people don’t really know the power that Pam Lund holds.

Realizing how incredible Roseanna, (hotwheelz) is with people.

Realizing how incredibly connected, and fun Shannon is.

So amazed at my staff who have been working 16 plus hours a day for a while now with no complaints, pulling off what I think has been an unstopable event!

Just one of the most bad ass days of my life.

Tears in my eyes of gratitude to everyone!

Much Love all around!

Your tired host.

Hey, If you are up, I am going to pick up a bunch of drinks this morning at 9:00. Like a bunch!

If anyone is up early and wants to come along and help lift and carry stuff, meet me in the lobby at 9:00.

If you want to help between now and then, go study these rules, and you can help out later.

This will be an amazing day

It starts today at 10:00 (No way I am getting up earlier or asking anyone else to!)

Meet at the L’Auberge Hotel Lobby at 10:00.

Look for Hotwheelz. She is a pretty blonde, and when she laughs really hard reminds you of kermit the frog!

If you roll in later, just give me a call.

If you don’t have my cell, send me an email to :
dk =at= purposeinc.com

If you are at the event you probably realize I mean that you should remove the =at= and put in a @

Wear beach wear.

If you need to come back to your room, we have cars going up and down the hill when you need them, unless we are at the airport picking up one of the bigshots. Wait a second..you are all bigshots, or you would not have been invited!!

Have way too much fun!!!

By the way, I am waking up at 9:00, going to grab some stuff, and will join the group around 11:00.

I have been talking to a lot of sponsors lately about our event.

Two really cool ones that I like a lot have stepped up and are putting down for the event.

Every time we get another sponsor, the attendees just got more bang for their buck.

If I do it right, I might get a little profit out of the event, but it is also possible that I have committed to so much goodness for the attendees, that I might end up upside down. But who cares?

I feel sorry for anyone else throwing a conference (not that this could be construed as a conference in any way) because I think attendees are going to expect a lot more from the providers after word of this event gets out.

I just love all of you for coming!!

Now the two new sponsors.

Unique Blog Designs is going to kick in a blog design for one lucky attendee.
It is a very specific product, and I will update the blog later with which one it is, but just know it is totally fricken cool and worth a grip!

PRLeap is going to donate three Press Release packs that each contain three press releases. That is like 3 press releases cubed!!

The stupid flipant humor and lack of links and graphics is due to exhaustion!! so I am going to go to sleep!! Thank god for wordpress or you would be reading this in plain text.

Call me on my cell when you hit San Diego, or just before if you can, so we can go get you!!
If you are arriving at the airport you will get a real treat. Jenny will be meeting you, otherwise it may be Smoochie!

Tomorrow night, Thursday, I have a cool place where we can all go grab some sushi!! It will be pay for yourself, as this will be a pre-pre-thinktank day!!

Peter Askew will not be attending due to business, but his spirit will be here! Peter actually left in his registration fee as a gift to all of you. When you see what he paid for, you will pay homage to Peter!

I just love you guys for coming! Stay tuned for word from the Tank!

Much Love,
dk
