Christine:

The ITA "old boys network" made sure that I was not invited to speak in Nashville.

Why?

Because they did not want me to "tell it like it is" regarding (1) sunlamp compatibility (too many sunlamp companies don't want tanning salon owners to know the truth about the lies they tell us), (2) the "real" performance of sunbeds, (3) skin typing and exposure schedules, and, (4) the latest information regarding HID/hp tanning.

Don't waste your time pointing out that the "exchange of information" would benefit tanning salon owners because they already know that. They want "sanitized" speakers who will only tell you what they want you to know. Sorry, but that's just the way that it is!

What has "evolved" is that the internet has taken the place of the Chicago trade show as a means whereby I can "share" information with tanning salon owners.

Don:
If I rent a room in Nashville..( a confrence room) and set a meeting for about 2- 3 hours..will you speak? ans answer questions for us?
That hotel is huge...I know they will have a confrence room.

I know my feelings and the feelings of MANY OTHERS about the NEED TO BE INFORMED!!
I will call and get a room Don if you say yes.. this is important to ALL of us.. and I will call the meeting Dons Army Meets..
The other boards will support it..and word of mouth travels..

xoxo,
C

Will wonders never cease?

Great minds think alike, etc., etc.

I have been "approached" by several individuals and organizations (via e-mail & phone) since you made your suggestion asking if I would be willing to give a talk in Nashville if they would help arrange for a room.

Any interest in this? If so, I'll prepare a "barn burner" for Ask Don's Army!

Also, PLEASE let me know when the first BoTox party will be held and I will be there (although to the best of my knowledge I have ABSOLUTELY NO wrinkles anywhere). I will "smile" for everyone there who won't be able to after they get their BoTox injection. LOL

Becka:

I love it!

Mickey D's is the perfect place for the "blue collar" segment of the indoor tanning industry meeting.

We can bill it as a "BTOCB" (Bring Your Own Cheese Burger) session.

And, perhaps Ask Don can find a Hamburgler costume for his talk! LOL

How can the "fat cats" at ITA top this?

PS: Maybe we can ask Erin B to join us!

What about something like this in Cancun as well? I will be unable to attend Nashville but am still crossing my fingers for Mexico. I will still help support the cause though, someone let us know what we can do to help.

Don,
This is a real opportunity. You need to find a conference room and do it right. We support you 100%. Keep on truckin.....
