A few weeks back I got some interesting mail for once. Aside from the plethora of magazine subscriptions that have found their way to my mailing address, the million and one averts for lawyers (Damn Texas and their policy of selling lists to lawyers), and [interestingly enough] even adverts forcheap life insurance, I also received information for a seminar that was interest to me and I could afford it to boot!

Normally tickets for the Get Motivated Business Seminar average around $100+ dollars (actually I think it was closer to $200) and so I’ve never even considered going before. It’s just never been in my price range. However, this year, they reduced the prices and the pre-registration prices were ridiculously low so I couldn’t let the opportunity pass.

The seminar is going to be held at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, TX tomorrow from 8am to 4:45pm, so it’s going to be a long day. I hope to learn a lot and have a good time as well. The guest speakers I’m most excited about are Rudy Giuliani, Laura Bush, Mike Price (UTEP Football coach), and Rick Belluzzo.

Video and audio recorders aren’t allowed, so sadly I won’t be uploading any interesting clips to the blog but I will be posting an over view of it and my thoughts tomorrow after I return. We can take cameras though so I will probably post a few pictures.

I’ve finished getting everything I need for tomorrow ready and will be going to bed soon so that I can get up early enough to drive up to El Paso, get a parking space, and get checked in at 6:45 when the doors open. I even packed my purse with some snacks and bottled water already! There will be a break for lunch and the concession stands will be open and offering sandwiches, salads, and the typical fare you can expect (popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, ect) but I’d rather not have to buy my meal from there. You just know concession stand prices are outrageous, not to mention, the lines will be long. I’m in the executive seating (floor seating by the stage) so I can just imagine what the lines would be like by the time I got to the top floors where the concession stands are. So not going to fool with that. Hopefully they don’t search bags and confiscate outside food and drink.
