[Mikey P]

[Nomad74]

Well, This makes me feel good about my selection of hotel

 

[Mikey P]

Saturday will be classes and molesting truckmounts in the parking lot

We may save some of the hotel floors for Saturday, I'm waiting for Mark's on site survey in two weeks..

 

[Nomad74]

Am I going to have to deal with a bunch of Toll Roads?

 

[Russ T.]

Is anyone bringing kids?

Ours will be in school during the Fest but it's kinda tempting to bring them down for a long weekend...

I've never been to St. Pete but those suites with the kitchen sound like the ticket,

I've given Tom a hard time about the lackluster service they deliver in a home compared to myself (kicks bear), BUT I really have learned a lot from the few times I've heard him. He's valuable to me because he forces me to consider what I want for my fam's future.

Too often, I'm buried in carpet cleaning and too tired to market my biz so I can get off the truck someday.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Meg said she was taking her kids.

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

Is there plans for the 23rd or is that just an arrival date? The 24th and 25th are the two event dates? Just trying to get all my details straight so I can get my schedule nailed down.

 

[Mikey P]

We clean the RMHC buildings on the 23rd

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

Thank you.

 

[Beeks]

Well shoot, guess there is no excuse why I cant make it this year. Guess ill finally get to see some of you uglies in person.

 

[Mark Saiger]

When had a cleaner visit this past week.... come to ride a long and clean, someone asked about a difference between festivals and which one to choose...

I only offered information that I think is important to some of us...and asked our visitor Ryan (who watches this board) his thoughts to help the person who was asking at that moment through messaging me...

This is Ryan Albert from Madison Wisconsin and he is buying his Uncles business....that he already works for

Well shoot, guess there is no excuse why I cant make it this year. Guess ill finally get to see some of you uglies in person.

Bout time perty boy...

 

[Russ T.]

Mel's mom is flying in to watch the boys so we can come!

It was in the lower teens today, with a wind chill of below zero all day. I really can't wait!

I guess we will probably stay at the Stay Bridge Suites, if that's where the event and my peeps will be?!

 

[Mikey P]

Awesome Russ!!!!!

 

[Russ T.]

How do we access special pricing for the rooms?

[Mikey P]

Rotovac has committed to joining the fun.

 

[Russ T.]

I booked the stay at the Staybridge Hotel. We come in on Wednesday, the 22nd and we leave Monday, the 27th.

 

[Russ T.]

It said "1 room left" when I was booking but maybe they are shills...

 

[steve_64]

I'm trying to talk Genny into going. It may be a last minute decision.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Get out of the cold my Northern Friends!

Come have some fun my Southern friends!

 

[billyeadon]

The Friday Marketing sessions are all set (at least until Mikey tries to cram 1 more speaker in)

Bill Yeadon: Marketing: Are you proactive or reactive?

Mark & Kirk Saiger: 2 Brothers, 2 Cities, 1 Goal: Controlling our Future and making a few friends along the way.
Deland Moghimi: What I wished I knew when I started: What worked, what didn’t

Jim Bardwell: Marketing by "Design"! How to gain access to the "high-end" designer referral market?

Roger Lloyd: Do you want it easy, or do you want it profitable? Room pricing versus package pricing in residential cleaning

Meg Burdick: Now that you’ve done it; how did you do?

We will be starting at 8 am because we have a ton of great info to get in before the pub crawl starts.

 

[Beeks]

Its official ill see you uglies there....lookin forward to another drink with @billyeadon

 

[Beeks]

what floor everyone on? It asked for a preference, doubt they will fulfill it, only 1 room left it said.

 

[Mikey P]

I guess I better grab that one...
