I think it's hysterical.  There's another website owner who is always posting very basic mileage questions on Twitter and FB but found it too far to shlep from 5 towns to BP.

Bottom line is I'll never please everyone with locations.  And trying to have content for all levels just seems to have meant that I bored everyone in the process...so I'll definitely never please everyone with content.

And there were near riots between folks that wanted a mechitza, those who wanted separate without a machitza, and those who wanted mixed seating :P

I missed last night seminar I was registered but got busy

Can anyone make trivia to see if I missed something (as dan said its for beginners +)

I can't seem to get it from the posts if I know enough or I should of been there.
there was some new stuff for everyone. So a trivia won't really help you. Much of it was very simple and some was advanced and went through quickly...

Trivia: Q. How can you book RT EWR-LAX for 10,000 United miles?

That trivia was an example. Had to be there to find out :P

Its ok I think all that were there enjoyed immensely. Obviously its impossible to please over 400 people, but hey you are giving your time for free so I dont understand how anyone can complain.

I looked at it as quite the chutzpah. You come to the heart of BP and you have the audacity to ask to have mixed seating? These people need to get a life.

In the end we moved my podium to the stage and made a mixed seating section in the back.
But people were screaming at me from all 3 sides of the argument :P

Not sure what will happen tomorrow.

Seriously if anyone doesn't appreciate what you did / are doing they shouldn't be there.
