See email.. I'm coming to CMC

Awesome!  This is definitely the Seattle Effect.  Does that mean credit goes to the Seattle instigator, Monkey Jenga?

OMG.. Thats like throwing gasoline on a flame...:)

OK, she might have SOMETHING to do with it...;)

I have that feeling JS described during his Seattle meetup...very excited, but also nervous/anxious due to my strong introvertedness. Three days of socializing with strangers is far beyond my comfort zone, but I will do my best! A bottle of bourbon may help.

Andy...IT'S GONNA BE OKAY. The fact that this is coming from me should be all the reassurance that you require.

It's been mentioned elsewhere, but I might as well confirm it here at CMC ground-central, that I am attending. We can hang out Andy. :)

A question I have: will there be (biting) bugs?

Awesome.
Jon_Snow is coming as well!

It's blowing my mind that people are traveling from all over for this. Loving it!

See email.. I'm coming to CMC

Hot damn!  Things just got real. :D

I am attending.

Nice!

Between you and Frank, MJ did some nice recruiting.

May need to hire her to travel around, attending local Mustachian meetups to promote for Camp Mustaches.

It does look like I should go.

Yay!  :D

I may be flying solo...but I'm coming!

Are you flying or biking? Seems like a long way to go on your MS ride!

I'll check email tonight around 9:30.

 

Holy Shit.  This is fantastic.  Now all we need is Kreigs!

actually...it has come to my attention that recruitment of BJ has been incomplete so far. I mean, we probably can't fit the ENTIRE forum into one camp, but we can try really hard.

It was actually a group effort.  :)

I sent him a PM.

I'm glad you're coming, CheapskateWife!  :D

So awesome we're gonna fill this with forum folks.  Random Mustachians Pete tweets at is cool, too, but this will be much more familiar/social.  Fun!

I thought Kriegsy was coming?

Someone should confirm this. Who wants to read back through the thread and check?

I thought he was too; has he not booked a ticket?

My #1 policy is that I will not out whether anyone has bought a ticket or not. Some folks would like to keep their attendance quiet for privacy reasons.

I sent him a PM.

pbk, the one person who wants Kriegs there more than I do. ;)

Prosp, axe just outed himself as a speaker. To save time, do you want me to quote his post and call it a speaker intro?

Also, I'm not done being overwhelmed by reading the number 12000 yesterday, and now people are throwing numbers like 954k around. I think we should have ARS set up a meditation corner that we can each retreat to when giant numbers freak us out.

I think we need a presenter to tell us now "Not to do anything more than precisely buggar all for months at a time, feel happy about it and definitely NOT go round disturbing the peace by making $94k"...:)

This might be a "POST FI" forum.. hahahah

That's just a revenue number, it's a lot lower once I get done paying all my employees and expenses. And 2017 is off to a crappy start for me!

<3 I am dearly going to miss meeting you all, but I don't think I can swing the vacation stich in October. I counted out all my planned days off, and I only have 2 for wiggle room. This would leave me with zero wiggle room, which is just cutting it too close. 
I hope you all have a blast, though, and I will be 110% envious of you cool kids having fun!

SKYPE NIGHT!

YES!

CMC Speaker Intro:

Monkey Jenga as the Angry Life Cheerleader

Who the hell am I? I don't deserve to present anything at Camp Mustache Canada.

EXCEPT FOR THAT I'M AWESOME.

And guess what? SO ARE YOU.

As Angry Life Cheerleader, I lovingly yell at people who are afraid to do things. You can do the thing! And if you can't, it's the thing's fault!

These things that you can do include:

• Apply for a job even if you don't meet every preferred qualification.
  
• Ask for a raise even if you haven't personally saved your boss's kitten from a treehouse fire.
  
• Talk your way into a job even if you don't meet the required qualifications. [SEE: Me and every office job I've ever had.]
  
• Get your overbearing coworker to stop talking over you in meetings.
  
• SKY-DIVING???
  

Angry Life Cheerleading is proven to be effective. People who allow themselves to be angry-cheerleaded end up with more money, better work-balance, and a 100% increase in happiness*.

*NOTE: Happiness quantified by easily faked observational analysis.

I'm not only the Angry Life Cheerleader president. I'm also a client. I overcame my own perfectionism and Imposter Syndrome that had kept me overworked and underpaid. Without a college degree, I worked my way up from temp jobs to a six-figure salary in only five years. It could have happened a lot more quickly, and with a lot less stress, if I knew then what I know now.

That is: your competition isn't as good as you think, and everybody else thinks you're awesome. Just freaking accept it already. Now go and tell your boss exactly why you deserve more money (AND MAYBE FREE SKY-DIVING LESSONS???).

Join us for a high-energy group cheerleading session to break through barriers and maximize life choices and savings. We'll focus on individual goals and learn how to be our own Angry Life Cheerleaders, in the loudest, excitingest, and cheeringest session of Camp Mustache Canada.

Pom-poms optional, but encouraged.

I'll pm you tomorrow exflyboy... ARS and I were talking yesterday and this could fall nicely into what we were considering.

That was a super entertaining Speaker Intro. Although now I keep hearing about how nice she is due to the Seattle meetup. NICE LIFE CHEERLEADER? Doesn't have the same ring.

I really want that giant numbers freakout meditation corner.

I wish had the sort of huge numbers that sent people scurrying to meditation corners.

Negative numbers do the same thing! Many paths....

We are filling up so insanely fast my head is spinning! This. is. awesome.

Two spots remain. Two. And the only reason those are up for grabs is because we've decided to send teh boys to grandma's house rather than have them be the only kids at CMC.

After these spots are gone your only chance to get a spot will be if someone drops out.

I am amazed that this thing has basically sold out 6 months early. Wow.

And it is all because of you, being a wonderful person and getting all of us involved. You made this whole thing. All. By. Yourself.

Then you got us amazing speakers. And arranged rides for us. And still did your job, your dad stuff, and the bar house. I think you deserve a few naps

Seriously this is so cool.. I normally avoid such things (I mean its probably a thousand dollar trip from the West coast).. But sometimes you just have to do things that will be this awesome..:)

OK Elaine - this is just getting silly. Everyone should be thanking you for stepping in and making USD payment work so this whole thing can go forward.

Can we go back to talking about rental cars and packing?
