Three film crews? Sounds exciting.

I'm also trying to get Popular Science interested considering they've done articles on Aubrey in the past. They have an office in Atlanta.

[Bruce Klein]

Best of luck, Joel.

I'll be there, arriving late Friday, and leaving Monday morning. Hope to enjoy visiting with old (an new!) friends on Sunday.

I don't remember whether I've already posted here, but YES. I'll be there. (I'm only going to be there once, though. At the moment, I only have one brain.) Can't wait. I'm looking forward to meeting y'all. (That means "you all" in Atlantan. When in Rome...)

[randolfe]

I will be arriving on Friday and staying until Monday night. I have a room at The Rennaince, 1365 Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta right next to the Marriot and about a mile from the Conference.

The room has a queen size bed and a couch and will hold three people. I paid for it with flight miles. I believe it is quite comfortable with kitchen facilities, etc.

I will be videotaping while in Alanta for vlogs to add to my site which can be viewed at:

I am looking for one or two people to share this room who will either make a financial contribution or be willing to work with me during the conference on videotaping, etc.

My home phone number is 201-656-3280. While in Atlanta, I will have my cell phone on and that number is 917-776-5152. Always call me at the 201-656-3280 number since I only have my cell phone on when I am out of the house.

Only 3 more days!!

[james3k]

Hey, this is sort of a stupid question, but I was just curious... how "dressed up" are individuals planning to get for the conference? The only conferences I've been to have been through work, and they had prescribed dress-codes.

*shrug* no biggy, just curious.
Anyway, it's getting exciting

I'll be arriving late Friday and leaving the afternoon of Sunday. It will be fun meeting people!

[JMorgan]

Hehe, I understand your concern. But doesn't Aubrey usually wear jeans and sneakers himself?

I wouldn't wear a suit if I were you.

[Bruce Klein]

It's up to the individual, no code. I plan to have a dog collar.

[Mind]

I plan on wearing slacks, a collared shirt, and tie. No suit coat. I will be introducing a couple of the speakers, so I want to look nice.

[james3k]

It's up to the individual, no code.  I plan to have a dog collar.

Heh, you rock [lol]


Yeah, I guess I'll plan on wearing cloths afterall...

[Bruce Klein]

Thus far, we have 141 individuals attending. Three film teams.

Should be a lot of fun!

There's still time to attend... walk-ups are welcome.

[eternaltraveler]

Should be a lot of fun!

Sounds like it!

I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you

[JMorgan]

Yeah, I guess I'll plan on wearing cloths afterall...

Aww, way to spoil the birthday-suit crowd.

[randolfe]

Nothing beats a black suit and a tie to impress standard media people.

I hate wearing such things but I'll probably bring it along as an option. We don't want to look like a bunch of scruffy hippies. We want to look like those who will be running things in the future!

[Infernity]

[sad] have fun guys.

I'll be .... miles away........ across the seas [cry]

[tilldeath]

how much is it to attend. i already paid to go, but, i dont remember how much i paid! also, i have a friend that wants to go but doesnt know how much it cost.

the big question:
i paid, but where is my ticket? how do i get in?

[Matt]

Good luck with the conference today.

Are any of the talks being recorded?

[eternaltraveler]

The conference was very good. I'd like to congradulate Bruce & Susan on putting on an excellent conference. The speakers were quite good overall, and the turnout was good as well.

It was great to be there!

[Karomesis]

that's great justin, rub a little more salt in the gaping wound for those who were unable to attend. [lol] [lol]

[Cyto]

Well, it was really cool.

[Live Forever]

Awesome conference!

I added some of my pics in the pic thread:

Aubrey seemed like a really down to earth guy, and would talk to you individually about almost anything, which I was glad to see.

Looking forward to future ones!

[Mind]

Thumbs up for the conference! It was cool to meet so many interesting people. The best part was talking so freely to people who share my own interests. In my normal life I have to be a little "guarded" when I talk about life extension. At the conference, it was a foregone conclusion for everyone.

[JMorgan]

Yes, I thought this conference ran much more smoothly than I had anticipated. (Sorry for not believing in you guys!) I understand there was alot of great feedback and I think it's safe to say that this will not be the last ImmInst conference.

And yes, Aubrey was a great hit and it seemed as though almost everyone had a beer with him, which only meant that by the end of the night he probably had over 15. But I lost count.
