Eggs-cellent, Betsy! Wish I could’ve been there too. It sounds kinda like you are “on-tour” already and just don’t know it (as it sneaks up on you!). I would definitely pack those bags because I’m guessing EN is on the same track as Frank’s thinking…and I agree. I’ll be seeing you here at the Chi-town stop!

Ha, ha…..Listen I get a lot of practice. I teach a Broadcast News class at a local University and it’s a 3 hour class. But, if I can’t keep my lecture going——I just throw an in-class assignment at my students. I figured I’d give these inventors an assignment if I ran out of things to say. But no need——get me talking about how my Egg idea came to life because of EN and I can go on forever. :-)

Frank—-a national or international speaking tour? I’m packed!!!! ha,ha

Well done, Betsy. An hour and forty-five is a long time. Hell, I can’t even talk to mySELF for that long. Very impressive.

What an evening that would have been, can’t wait to see some pictures!

Commanded the full attention of attendees for 1:45?… Maybe EN needs to consider sending Betsy & company on a National/International Speaking tour? I mean, people are DRAWN to a peer!

Hi Betsy,
I just have to share with everyone what a professional speaker you are.
Betsy commanded everyone’s attention for an hour and forty five minutes until “last call” for the questioning session was announced and she left them wanting more. I suspect there are some new E.N. fans and forum watchers. And if you ever wonder what kind of a man can capture and hold the affections of such a lady, let me tell you about Stan. A handsome gentleman with a great sense of humor he is. Cathy could not get enough of him during those brief interludes of crowd networking that Toni, Betsy and I availed ourselves to.
Nice job Betsy! What a great mentor you are for anyone hoping to arrive on the world stage or in my case any stage : )

Oh, one more thing. Expect lots more Houston ENers! The group last night was just amazed by what Edison Nation is all about! These are inventors who have been working years on their inventions, spending zillions of dollars and getting no-where. To learn that there’s a place like this where you can submit an idea, or product and possibly have it end up on store shelves was mind blowing to them.

It was great to have Greg and Toni there as well. We are all so high on EN, that at one point someone asked me ‘If I worked for EN’. Ha,ha! I mean really? If that were the case——-I couldn’t submit ideas!!! That would be NOooooooo fun! But I had a drawing for Eggies and passed out flyers and talked about the whole EN process and what I’ve learned from the ASOTV journey. THEN we wrapped up and Partied! :-)

We had lots of fun! But, it was ALL about the AFTER party. Greg Bruce, Cathy and Toni Rey and I all went out. The Houston ENers really know how to party! ;-) Oh some guy did video-tape the event…just not sure where that ends up.

Wow, now wouldn’t that be THE place to be!! Wish we could join you Betsy, but will be there in spirit!

Wish there could be events closer to EN’s HQ that wasn’t restricted… seems all the Fairs and Conventions and
Meetings are held miles away from Charlotte.
I thought joining the Carolina Inventors Group would provide opportunities to join in group functions, but they haven’t
replied to any of my inquiries over the past 13 months, so participation has been what’s found in articles.

That’s right Bets,
I’ll be there with some real softball questions like “What’s the exact nutritional content of a free range egg”, “What is the melt down temperature/time differential between an Eggie boiled in Denver versus one at sea level” and of course “What’s the price of eggs in China”.

Ha Ha! Just kidding Bets. You know you can count on me for any assistance.

You’re just saying that cuz when we had dinner with Eric in SD, I plied you with liquor! Ha,ha, just kidding. But these inventors might just be a tough crowd! But I’m giving away Eggies—-so that’ll be fun. Toni Rey and Greg Bruce will be there—-wish you were in Houston too! ;-)
