Anal Hobbit tip for mooching.

1. Find The Grand Lux Cafe.. Its in the Venetian. If you are with a group, just order water. Its free. If other people are at the table, FREE BREAD comes to the table. It is UNLIMITED.. Cake some butter on the bread, and it is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! You could eat 2 loafs of this tasty treat and be full as if you had a very fufilling meal!!

What if you are by yourself you say? Well, get a seat. Order a coke. Why a coke? Becasue it has 180 calories per serving. And whats better its BOTTOMLESS!!! Free refills. Keep drinking em down. Its only $2.00 and you can easily drink 12.00 worth. Also this buys you time. Tell the waiter you are looking at the Menu, and need some time. And to bring you out some BREAD while you are waiting. Drink your coke and your free bread to your hearts content. When the waiter comes back, tell em "actually I should wait for my firends before I order, May I wait here" He will say yes. Then tell him can I get another coke and more bread please.. He will comply. Stay for 1 hour. Get full, and come back later that night for the night shift.

Youd be suprised how fufilling this bread with butter and Coke can be!


2. Scout out a group who is going out for a dinner, and try to blend in.. DOnt know anyone at the show or in the group?? Who cares!! Introduce yourself to ONE PERSON in that group. Talk and laugh with that person, even if talking and laughing isnt invited. The person you are talking to may think you are strange, but the rest of the group will think the guy knows you.
Work the group more. Talk to them, and then refer to the last guy you just talked to in the group in conversation. Like "ya George was just saying how much he liked that" or "Yeah, Boneprone sells me traffic, its really shitty"
anything to fit in.

Before you know it you will mole your way into a great dinner. Free I may add.

Now since you will be new at this, I suggest doing this to the smaller groups first. You have to be really skilled to do this to say a Silver Cash dinner or something, but with Practice you will be able to in Due time.


3. Go to the Booths in the convention early. Owners of many booths buy food for thier staff to munch on.Pizza, Fruit, pop, salads, you name it. Scout out the right booth.
Go talk to the rep like you have tons of traffic. Keep looking at the food. Say boy that looks good to em, and any good rep will offer or sacrifice the food for a potential good client relationship.

You could eat like a king like this during the day and mornings with #3, and then work the #2 option for dinners.. And #1 you do late at night or really anytime as a backup.

So you see, there is no need to stay away from internext.
If you work it right you can budget out the cost of food, and in my old post I posted a few days ago, you can get show passes for free as well..

Internext is a fun place, and money and cost for these items should not detour you from the show.

Stickyfingerz board personality dies and a new one is born.

Every now and again, board drama is just fucking weird and uncomfortable. As is the case of Stickyfingerz and Stickyfingerz the symbol.

Basically, Sticky had been in a bunch of heated political wars on GFY. That never really goes well and someone always ends up crying, pulling traffic, suing (seriously), telling someone to leave America, and so on and so on....

I don't like to even add them as drama, cause they are just the same old stuff, always packaged differently.

But on October 3, 2006, Stickyfingerz changed the game.

His board persona commited suicide and a new one was born.

So lets break down the post.

Stickyfingerz is dead 10-03-2006

Sticky starts off by letting us know that his board persona is dead. Basically this means everyone needs to stop fighting with him over his past posts. I have to give him credit, lots of people just leave the board, threaten others with lawyers, reinvent themselves as a new persona, but not Sticky, he committed message board suicide. God how classic. This was actually uncomfortable to read. I don't think anyone as ever killed their board persona before. What a fucking specfuckingtacular thread. Lets break down the rest.

Well... Not the person, but some of the board persona is dead. I REALLY enjoy debating with people. Be it political or just whatever dumb argument has come about. Its to the point now that business is more of a priority.
Transaltion. I am in a debate hole and board persona suicide is the only way out of it!

I dont hate anyone here. Your political beliefs might be the polar opposite of mine. Thats not going to stop me from doing business. Maybe I went a bit overboard in the past. Im strong spirited. Thats a good thing.
I am worried that people will not do biz with me.

As I like to say "Im a tenacious motherfucker".
I am tough and I confirm such.

I dont think my outfront attitude hurt me in the long run. It made me stick in many peoples heads. At shows people knew who I was because of it. Its made me many friendships with people who agreed or disagreed. But alas... The time has come to mellow out a bit.
I am a branding guru. when all else fails, just say you were branding.

Im involved in several different projects at this time. I represent splitinfinity and am involved in many infrastructure projects for them. Im partner in a small content company, and am currently launching a side business with another partner. The opportunity is too great to risk over silly forum debates, as fun as they may be.
I make $40k a year, maybe.

So just expect to see a more Gentle Sticky from now on.
The birth of a new board persona just happened.

Im sure Ill have my flamers and baiters in this thread. To them "more power to you"! It helps Lens get pageviews and im all for that. , but I wont be drug into your snare.
People are going to make fun of me. I may not have something cool to come back with. So this covers my ass by taking out a "can't be baited" insurance policy.

To anyone I may have offended or hurt over the last year or so I humbly appologize. Please remember it was all in the spirit of fun, even though it may not of seemed like it in the heat of the debate.
I am a standup guy.

We now return you back you your reguarly scheduled gfy program!
