I went the last two years. I think I am going to try to go to IDEA in vegas this though.

ECA:not enough kickboxing this year IMO and only a few quality yoga teachers; Robin Levine and Micheal Lechoniak are great and Natalie too.

Don't take Sherry Baptiste's class. It should be illiegal for her to teach yoga IMO, I don't care if her brothers famous.
also, Patricia Moreno likewise shouldn't teach yoga.

ECA does have all the good spin instructors, though. have fun Barry! where are you having dinner while you are there?

Going to Candle 79, GOBO and Vegetarian Paradise. I am sure we will stop into Teany tomorrow while we are just walking around.
I am actually assisting Mindy Mylrea again. I was with her in Philly at SCW. She is awesome! She is going to let me help her with Body Bar & Bosu class.
Very exciting!

Well...just had what I consider a 'bad' experience with Vegetarian Paradise.
I called to make a reservation and the lad who answered ask with a 'what are you talking about' attitude. Her reply was a QUESTIONABLE "how many perople are coming" (you have to imagine a 'cocky' arragant way this was said).
I replied '3'. She orginally started to respond, 'You DON"T NEED' then stopped herself, and replied 'Sorry, reservatins aren't needed. We will do the best to seat you'. By that time...........IT WAS TOO LATE!
She acted as if I should have KNOWN they don't accept reservations. If she would of responded - FIRST - 'Oh, we don't take reservations. We will do our best to seat as soon as we can'..or something to that affect there would of never been a problem.

Sorry, but I work WAY to hard for my business, 24 hours a day whether I am there or not to find this somewhat acceptable. Now I will never know what VP2 is like.

Some of you may think, 'Well, she may be having a bad night or day'. Well, that is not the customers problem. The hundreds of members that come through my doors everyday or my many clients I seeon a daily basis NEVER KNOW when I am having a problem. That is nto what they PAY FOR!

Back to Candle 79, or GOBO. Maybe I will try Red Bamboo. I heard some good and bad, but since Danielle from Vegan Treats recommended them I think I will try them.
