Well it seems Barry O’Connell and his gang is at it again in Vegas. Maybe this time cleaners will see through all the crap and what (or who) they are really dealing with.Why I would Never Attend a Rug Lovers Tour Again
At first it started out as a free let’s go look at rugs in the New York market. No service was provided but it seemed well received and a short drive for me. Then the gang thought they could make easy money from carpet cleaner that knew little about rugs.
So along comes Rug Tour Washington D.C with the zero service thinking but let’s charge the suckers $600 - raking in almost $40,000. So what did you get for $600? No lunch, no shuttle services, no reception, no name tag, - nothing. What we did get was kicked out of a rug cleaning plant with the owner telling us to get the f… out of his plant. Great planning on their part. But it got better. For the marketing presentation they gathered us in the hotel lobby. The hotel manager kicked us out as he did not want a group holding a 60 person seminar blocking his front door. So down to the basement where there was no marketing other that some of the participants putting in their two cents worth.
OK so now we are off to The Textile Museum. But again no planning, no directions, no ride (no expense for them) so we have to pay $50 for a cab. When we get there – no rugs! Just African textiles.
Now they are ripping people off for $800 in Vegas. What do you get – looking at rugs in a retail store and then pushing chemicals and equipment on you.
Be aware do not criticize Barry or he will come after you. One day he likes Lisa Wagner, and then he doesn’t. The next day it’s Ruth Travis or the other way around. Next he doesn’t like Paul Lucas. Read his blog and Face Book postings and you will see the mind of a sick person. Or even better see his postings under an assumed name – yes he has been caught at that too. If he thinks you know more than he does he come after you with the most vitriolic nasty accusations for calling him at his game. Some self-proclaimed rug expert! What is he? A computer programmer who types a lot.
I am not a physiatrist but this gang needs some group counseling.

I know Scott had some good things to say about his recent Lovers tour. I believe the failed event this guy is talking about was a while back.
our good buddy Tom King is going to attend both upcoming Red and Blue events and get back to us with a detailed field trip report.
Should be interesting..
