Billy Vivona's seminar on Basic Crosswrapping set a new Expo (and therefore world) record attendance mark for any rod building seminar ever held - 157 persons attended. Four years ago he was too nervous to even get in front of a couple dozen guys in a seminar setting. Times change.
Photo is up on the photo page now, along with a handful of others. ............ Re: Billy V sets new record

Hi Tom,
Not only do times change, people also change. It's surprising what you can get used to doing with a bit of effort. Big congrats to Billy for that and that will give him a lot of confidence to do other stuff as well. You also deserve all the credit you get for organising the event. Looks like you got a great turnout and I'm just getting more jealous of you guys. Hopefully you are up to organising a few more as getting to at least one is on top of my "Bucket List". Hope everyone had a great time and picked up a few bargains. ESFNEM Col Port Kembla, NSW Australia Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/26/2012 12:09AM by Col Chaseling. Re: Billy V sets new record

TOm, that is GREAT NEWS!! It's an amazing feeling knowing that there are that many people interested in seeing my seminars, the feedback tha tI recieve after every one of them is awesome!! I was very comfortable yesterday, and I felt that it was th best seminar performance I've ever given. I never count the people at teh seminars, but I knew yesterday ther ewere more chairs and people were STILL standing in the back and in the entrance.
THANK YOU to everyone!! Re: Billy V sets new record

Thanks to everyone again. I'm glad so many people appreciate the info that ALL presenters of seminars share, and recognize that it is NOT easy to do so in an hour in front of a large crowd (with hecklers!, although I was heckling the crowd in my seminar) Re: Billy V sets new record
