Conference Memories...

Wow, my memories seem lame now compared to some of the stuff that I'm reading here.

Personally, I found the whole Foxy Bingo head going missing very funny at LAC.

God I really need to get to Barcelona reading these stories! I went to London last year however just remember a lot of extremely drunk conversations in loud clubs and having a lot of business cards which I could not account for, not good!

Does any affiliate capturing actually take place or is it just a social thing?!

**Spinweb** · 10 August 2011, 7:25 am

Could I ask what happened with the dirty protest?

I'm guessing that it wasn't the same kind of dirty protest as David Charlton - youtube.com/watch?v=irSLlyvCVjg

Oh here we go! - who is gonna tell him?

Spinweb: Believe half of what you read and none of what you hear...

Well, you see... it all started with the afternoon buffet at the conference 2nd day when I decided to try one of the quick-fried prawns in a tempura batter...

Thats why affiliates dont go any more. Spend a bunch of your own non expensable cash to wander around a big Expo in a foreign country being hassled by idiot AM's or stay at home and spend that money on nice things.

You've said in one post what I have been saying for years. I give this whole "conference" gig 18 months before it implodes. No value for affiliates, and without affiliates no value for operators. And your comment kinda proves that.

Alright Mystic Meg, this thread is. Purely memories, not predictions.

Sourpuss.

Captains Hat, 4 bottles of beer, bending over *cough* seductively posing for the camera... who'd ever thought the photo would've turned out like a Thailor Boy from the Village People.

I bet I know who that was... and my lips are sealed. Probably the same one who asked if I wanted to smoke with them in London this year.

And WHO the F did you steal animal porn for, and how did you know where to find it? I hope you weren't stealing it from another attendee..

The Dirty Protest... it will live on forever.
All because of the bad prawns..

**AE-Martyn** · 11 August 2011, 6:16 am

That's shite. No pun intended.

**Anthony-Coral** · 12 August 2011, 5:45 am

What can I say..... Couldn't find a hotel to take the booking.

My Spanish isn't great but they seemed to be muttering something about requiring a substantial deposit bond to cover potential cleaning costs in the bathroom.

**AE-Martyn** · 12 August 2011, 5:52 am

They are still cleaning up after last time. The staff make a start and walk out disgusted, hence the high unemployment rate in Spain.

Nice one Hodgey.

Those tiles are gonna need re-grouting

**AE-Martyn** · 16 August 2011, 4:26 am

I just remembered, Cancun 2009. I was challenged to a drinking competition in a Martini bar by a female affiliate who will remain nameless.

Lets just say that after a hefty bar bill I was still standing and the journey home was eventful. There was sick, urine (in and out the mini bus) and some choice words you wouldnt repeat infront of the kids.

Two of us really could not make the journey back to the hotel without a pit stop in some bushes before our bladders exploded.

Fun times though. Great meal, great company and a conference memory.
