I followed Uncle Bob's advice and wrote SAYSOLD1 at the bottom of my badge.
Only neg was that some guys called out to me "Hey, SAYSOLD1 !" during the convention rather than my real name lol. Took some getting used to 
I must say how cool it was to finally meet so many Café members in person. One particular person who I've disagreed with a bit in the past on the Café was actually quite pleasant in person - and I now see him from a different (more positive) perspective. I'm planning 100% to go agin to MindVention next year.

I don't recall meeting saysold by either name, but I'm pretty sure I would like him. After all, friendship is not contingent upon 100% agreement.
I follow his posts with great interest, and affirm his point of view much more often than not. I now regret that I have not often said so when I (silently) affirmed his insights and contributions. Saysold, let's meet next year. You could spring for lunch! George |

I'm not a comedian and I didn't feel like my strengths were to come up with those types of things. My references to Bob (such as the "Liberace of Telepathy") were not designed to be gags or one-liners and I was pleasantly surprised that I got laughs at each of them. I didn't feel like digging up old dirty jokes and inserting Bob into them, as a few roasters did. (And I've nothing against that, by the way. They were, indeed, funny.) Instead, I felt a witty anecdote would be entertaining. That's more my style. And I decided to do something a bit off the wall and esoteric, as that is my nature, yet still be respectful and poke a little fun at Bob. I wanted to see who was listening and the anecdote played right into that. I knew some would get it and some wouldn't. To me, that was part of the whole joke. And, no, I won't bother explaining it because if you have to explain jokes... But thanks for attending. And who said that one has to have gags or one-liners? As I recall, one or two other roasters didn't either. I'd never been part of a roast before and I only wished Stetson would have warned me that he had he had a fair bit of material that he wanted to direct towards me. I most certainly would have been more prepared. That's not really his, or anybody's, fault, really. But all is good. It was all fun. The only real "negative" for the convention, if you can call it that, was that I was kept much more busy than I have been in past years. Between the two presentations and the dealer's booth, I had less time this year than usual to sit back and enjoy it. And being busy is a good thing. I didn't even have time to peruse the dealer's room and I know I missed out on a getting a few interesting items that others told me about later. But now it's back to the website, Bob's workshop, working on Vol. 3 of THE ARTFUL MENTALISM OF BOB CASSIDY, and other projects. Perhaps next year, Danny will have me as a featured lecturer as I do have about hours of material to share and I'm just not talking about reviewing the current mentalism items (which a few have asked me to do). Of course, if he does, then that will keep me VERY busy again! - Jheff

I think that about wraps up that subject... good idea about stickers on the name badges to identify Café members.
