Mobile Beat Las Vegas 2014

Ditto to what Valerie said,,,, try and talk to people, people you do not know. They have open roundtables where ideas flow fast... The sad thing is that so many things overlap it might be hard to choose where to go and you will come home going... shoot I missed one!...

Also, don't get all caught up in the late night parting,,, while it is Vegas, if you burn the candles at both ends, it will just end up burning your ass... Sample stuff, but be careful. You want to be awake for some of those early morning classes.

Drink water - eat - don't overspend on the exhibit floor. While it is nice to see and touch and stroke all the new toys, you will be like a kid in the candy store and buy stuff that when you get home will be like...WTF???? LOL

And if you are a gambler,,,,,,,, be careful, Vegas was not built by winners!

The girls that are really friendly aren't really friendly

Probably not all girls either

I did find it funny last year, every morning the amount of Monsters that people were drinking.

Just got home last night, but I did make a post on the ADJA page that I will share here..

I had a good time at MB18,,, I thought there was less people, not as many younger or newer DJs, which was sad on one hand, but on the other hand, made it easier to talk to DJs without being slammed into each other.

My wife asked me for highlights when I got home. Vickie Musni was one for me, Tuesday night DJ take over was fun, Randy Bartlett seminar was good, I saw the preview and he refined it. I do not know many presenters to make a point will lay down on the stage floor in their $150 suit, it was great.

I bought the "Extreme Bingo" game from Digi Games,,, that's cool... I caught only a small piece of Arnoldo Offermann Moving Head seminar, andI do have to say, not matter what, this cat is passionate about what he says. You can just feel his energy and enthusiasm.

As usual the networking outside the main hubbub of things was great. Hanging with Steve Sharp is always good. I love the honesty of this man.

I got a photo with Montell Jordan up in the Penthouse and I got to learn some games from Robbie Britton and then show him some amazing things I can do with a dollar bill and beer bottles (lol).

I wish I could remember the cats name that was at breakfast with the DJ Master Mindz crowd that had the guts (and I mean that is a very positive way) to announce that his company had a huge market share at $375 for 4 hours and wanted to learn how to up the bar. Alan Dodson was the man behind that. They group didn't slamm him like they would have on the boards and he truly wanted to learn even after saying the classic "it won't work in my market".... His first convention, I hope he had a great time and thanks for Alan for putting that together...

I helped take down the ADJA booth and Drax invited me to dinner (thank you) but I went over to the after party at Atlanta Photo Booth with JD Fields and he got me drunk, but I did get to meet the gal from RV Nuccio Ana Carson who deals with all us DJs but thanks anyway Hugo Drax...

Playing golf with Patrick Smiley on Sunday to kick off the week was great, cold but great LOL

John Rozz, Alan Dodson and me talking about DJs over 50 LOL

I will give you a word of warning, never leave your cell phone unattended around Randy Bartlett.. or this will be what ends up on your screen.... scary huh?

Once we get back, I'll compile my thoughts on the week...this phone keyboard is just too small to type for long periods of time with.

I had a good time last week. It was a bit of a roller coaster ride of emotions and events for me, but it was good time overall. I had a lot of fun at the parties and hanging out with people. In fact, I would have been just happy shooting the sh*t with people the whole time.

It was great to chat with Chuck, Jokerswild, and all of the other MBLV attendees.

I look forward to reading review from anyone that attended the show.

Not me either.
