Last week I was talking to this couple from Vegas and they asked if I have ever been to Vegas and I responded that it has been a real long time... Pretty much 20 years ago when I first landed in the US that was one of the first places I visited.

It was a Dani Johnson's First Steps to Success Seminar. Learning all about cold calling.....
This is what's left of those memories.

It wasn't until several days later, that out of the blue it dawn on me that I have absolutely been to Vegas more than that one time.

I am amazed how I blacked out to recall that.

But yes, I was in Vegas in 2011 speaking at a conference, the largest in the industry I was involved at the time for about a decade as a "top" "influencer" 💁🏻‍♀️oooooh... Spoke about "Social Media Buzz with Video" in the Palms hotel Pearl ballroom....

I remember the big brag about that was that Britney Spears was performing on that same stage the weekend after... I am literally laughing out loud right now writing this.... 😆mostly because silly outdated old paradigm copywriting and marketing spins that such details were made to stand out... Later gave a talk at a breakout room...
There was a VIP after party for all the speakers later at the top floor at the Playboy Suite 👯‍♀️ and we got to take photos with industry friends at a giant spinning oval bed.

My partner at the time and I had hired a filming crew and traded a ticket with another industry friend to be our assistant and bring one speaker at a time into our suite where I'd interviewed them.

It was a busy weekend and I remember feeling terrible inside the Vegas Hotels. The energy was ewwww. I eventually went to hang out and restore with a massage at the spa and chill out by a pool in the sun. As far as I remember it was some acupressure massage and triggered a ton of grief in me. I ended up crying the whole time on the plane home, grieving my 18 year old cousin Toni who was killed car accident in recent months. 😪
