Man, what a fun night! I would like to thank everyone for making the 3rd annual surf fest a raging success!! It was great meeting the elite of elite and knowing several business connections/deals may come out of the mix. It was quite an eclectic mix of traders and media people of all stripes. Several highlights included Spydertrader being chased down by management for a violation of the club policy then being classy enough to stay and explain his trading method in detail. ChiBondKing drinking all the Coronas at the bar while dressed to the 9âs in a designer suit then singing snippets of show tunes. JimmyJam eloquently pontificating his market views while puffing on a la Gloria Cubanaâthis guy is a class act regardless of past discretions on et! Timmmmay Sykes revealed his new show TimTV and showed me several internet marketing strategies that are quite interesting. TimTV will be a jackass style finance show that will feature segments like âstalking cramerâ etc. This promises to be entertaining at the very least. Braving the elements, smoke adverse Alexander Morris, one of the top trading platform designers/programmers on earth who actually trades and the star of moâmoney attended with his lovely fianceâ the star of www.hotroast.com . NTB who attended with his gorgeous new bride got into a deep conversation with PhiSigmaIota regarding hedge fund structure and systems while Red Duke and the rest of the crew talked trading long into the night. This was all while several celebrities, Rev Al not the least of whom, were straining to listen to our conversations. Annaland and I soaked it all in while having a blast talking with everyone. Looks like the next Surf Fest may be sooner than a year, we will keep you posted.

Best,

Surf

Next time, I might even bring along more venue appropriate footware.

Again, everyone experienced a great time, Surf. Thanks for the invite, and I look forward to future events.

most of the attendees are pretty private shunning cameras, hence no actual pictures of the group. this view from the bathroom, however, is fair game. hope you can make the next one!

A fitting photo since I am not a beer drinker and am convinced that all beer comes from the same urinal regardless of what the label may say.

Sorry I missed it as well.
Next year I'll be sure to "Sharpie" it in.
The better half is anxious to do some shopping in NY & Montreal again.
