Vegas Part 1

Las Vegas was a blur - we were busy from the time we landed until the time we put our tired and drained selves on the plane back home!

The first night (Sunday) we hit the circle bar in the Paris Casino and meet TONS of people. Matt, the impact gel guy from Pitchmen was there and he was giving us pointers for the next day so we were really pumped to get this going!

Then off to the pool party that night where we meet John Cremeans (HSN Host, among other things) who then introduced us to Forbes Riley. Right there, by the pool, I am demoing the Spin Gym! My arms were totally killing me the next day - it's a great workout!

Stacey and I were on cloud nine and were really looking forward to pitching at the convention but after networking for a few hours we wanted to hit the slots.

After loosing "just enough", we went back to the hotel to get some rest and prepare for day two.

Of course, too excited to sleep, we stayed up and talked and the sleep I was hoping to get turned into just having a 3 hour nap! Oh well!

One more time

I have sucked down my first cup of coffee and ready to pour another but before I do, I wanted to jump on Product X and say, "Ladies, on more time"!

The Everything Marinator is already in my car...I was terrified I would forget it...I am excited to get this going!

I really appreciate all the well wishes and encouragement and for those of you who are still waiting to hear from WI, I hope you hear soon!

If I can post in Vegas, I will and hopefully have lots of fun things to tell you!

Short and Sweet

Last minute loose ends to tie up before I leave on Sunday for Vegas and as usual, I am running around like a chicken with it's head cut off!

I may have spent a lot of money going to the WI casting call but it was worth it for several reasons...one of those reasons is flying in tomorrow (Stacey) and we will be leaving together on Sunday!

So, this is short and sweet (like myself, my husband says), and I will ask you to leave comments here if you have/have not heard back from WI.

Also, for anyone else going to Vegas or ladies just plugging away with their inventions and want to tell us about it!

Have a good one!

Lets meet!

Ok, Vegas bound girls, lets meet up!

I will be in town on Sunday afternoon and staying until Wednesday - the excitement of it all!

Tell me when you get in and what time(s) work for you.

I was thinking of meeting Sunday night, 6ish, at the Paris bar (it's to the right when you walk into the hotel, directly across from the bathrooms).

If you are going to be there another day, let me know and we can arrange a meeting time/place.

Paris is my FAVORITE hotel in Vegas...my husband and I re-newed our vows at the five year mark by having a huge party at Paris with 13 of our friends! We actually had Elvis marry us (again)! So fun!

On a side note: Thanks to everyone who is supporting me, giving me well wishes and encouragement while I take another shot with The Everything Marinator!!!

Enjoy your day...it's 9/9/09 so expect good luck today! :)

Next week this time

One week from today I will be standing in a Vegas convention center pitching The Everything Marinator!

One week from today I'll feel excitement or disappointment.

One week from today, I'll know what blog post I'll be posting.

One week from today I will either be jumping for joy or storing The Everything Marinator in my closet.

It's pretty interesting to ponder what will happen next week this time...

A little less conversation a little more action please

It's on!

I am headed to Vegas with my friend Stacey (whom I had met at Women Inventor) and ready to pitch, pitch, pitch The Everything Marinator!

I wasn't going to go...then all of my friends and family said I was crazy not to...one could call it "peer pressure"!

However ladies, I spoke to Ivette and she said if you plan on attending you must contact her. Her info is:
canyoupitch@gmail.com

I'm cautiously excited...who knows where this is going to take me...but from a little help from my friends, I will be finding out soon!

Been there, done that

How I would love to go to the Vegas Open Call for Pitchmen!

I am confident in my invention but WI made me cautious about jumping the gun and jumping on the band wagon...

Maybe Pitchmen will come to Florida and I can put The Everything Marinator in my car and zoom off to do my pitch without spending so much money (WI) that I could have had my CAD drawings done.

Also, the big question is...are they accepting prototypes...sure, they may say "yes" and change their minds...been there, done that...but it doesn't hurt to ask!

I keep The Everything Marinator on my kitchen counter as a reminder that there is a solution to every problem and to challenge myself to find it.

I do love a good challenge...
