You fancy me to be a liar, don’t you? I told you I’d blend into the crowd, mere peasant amongst plebs. It was a fine showing, starting off with Asshat in Chief, Howard Lindzon. He rambled on about the future and how he bankrupted himself amidst tumult, back in the early days of the new millennium. He continued to fire buckshot towards my direction, then abruptly left for parts unknown.
The Option Addict put his heart and soul into his presentation and it showed. He was a great showman and almost motivational in the manner by which he delivered his missives.
Ragin Cajun was also very upbeat and on point.
And, of course, Jeff Mack, as usual, was funny as shit, informative and gave us a stock pick to boot.
As for me, I ate amongst you and heard you complain about “The Fly” being a no-show. I witnessed The Zombie and talked shop with some of you. Pardon my demand for secrecy and anonymity, for it is in the best interest of the country to keep my identity unknown, a national security threat of sorts.
Very shortly, I will head on over to the VIP After Hours Party.
See you soon and thank you for attending.

If anyone wants to see what The Fly looks like, I retweeted a pic on my Twitter. Possibly a decoy, but as close as anybody will likely get… Kind of looks like actor Jim Caviezel.
there were two people who set off my “is that the fly?” radar, but I’ll never know. gun to the head – the guy with the better fashion sense.(no Liberace)
Remember how Brian Cranston blended into the crowd at ComiC-Con in a Walter White costume? I’m thinking he was disguised as his own decoy.
that’s funny ! I was half expecting some crazy appearance but no big signs, like a KGB agent in England out to assassinate someone, you know they’re there somewhere.
pyro – I’ve enjoyed your pics. Hope you had a good time.
thanks ! definitely. I’ve just about had enough of Vegas but the conference is great.
Indeud.
I lost count of the number of interesting and engaging people I met today. Top-notch venue, engaging and informative speakers, insightful questions from the floor, and the day isn’t even over yet.
Thanks to all involved for arranging this and for hosting us.
big thanks to Raul for the 15 min crash course on profiling! I had some of his blog posts printed for review and learned a ton.

… well, the “conference” certainly sounds like … well … ughhh …

Did I mention I took down a big oak on my property and am in the process of turning it into winter firewood …
Prolly far more beneficial than some lameass Vegas “waste of time” !!!
GEEEEEZ !!!
.
.
… I mean … if I cough up big bucks for a Vegas iBC Conference …
… “Jello Shots off of Fly’s Belly Button” better be part of the package !!!

OKAY … admittedly … that was weird !!!
Make that Jeff Macke’s Belly Button !!!
ROFL
.

Can I just say that “back in the day” … as a Support Engineer for a “major consumer electronics company” I have done countless conferences/seminars/shows/conventions…
I know first hand the hard work that goes into something like this …
I commend the iBC guys for doing this …

Just jokin’ around a bit !!!

Now THAT … Sorry, Sir … is utter BALDERDASH !!!
.
.
… did I actually just use “balderdash” in a sentence ?
Blame it on the Guiness !!!
.
That sucks I drove from Idaho to meet The Fly and he didn’t have the fucking nerve/class to speak at his own conference !!
Sorry you felt that way sloop. I was very transparent in that I had no intention of speaking from the get go. I did, however, speak with you.
Lol!! Sloop’s day flashes through his mind in fast forward and then slowly grinds to a halt…
(sloop’s head explodes)
Really enjoyed the conference – you guys put on a great event. Looking forward to the next one.
Alas, the Cap’n is ineffable lads; he slips n slides betwixt us. There but not there, visible yet invisible sort o’ like the Great Pumpkin (extra Charlie Brown). We must have faith laddies!
There is an idea of The Real Fly, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.”
Hopefully, next year there will be another conference that is not preceded by a market correction, and I can bring some para psychology apparatus to detect the phantom known as The Fly.
Soooo nobody saw The Fly on the wall?
I may be regressing to childhood but I laughed at the Asshat in Chief comment.
Did we engage at any point this weekend Sir?
Yes
Glad it went well! This market and everything in general has given me a lot to think about.
