Flip This Wholesaler

So, I was going to write another post last week letting you all know that I was heading out of town to Kansas City for a mastermind retreat with Steve Cook and the Flip Vips, but then I had too much stuff to do before I left, so I didn’t get a chance to write an update.

So anyway, I left for Kansas City early Wednesday and got back late Friday night, and have been in bed ever since because my back is so screwed up that it hurts to stand up, sit down, laugh, breathe, blink, etc.  Which is totally awesome.

The good news is, I had a great time in Kansas City (minus the part where this guy on the plane told me there were two Kansas Cities- one in Missouri, and one in Kansas, and then for about a half hour after I landed I thought I flew to the wrong state). Turns out there’s only one Kansas City, but half of it is in Missouri and half is in Kansas.

I had no idea.

Anyway, like I said, I had a blast at the retreat, and took lots o’ pictures for your viewing enjoyment…

Craig Fuhr with a yard of beer at the Yard House

After closing down the Yard House, we headed to this place called Danny’s.
That’s Shaun McCloskey riding in the trunk/backseat.

While at Danny’s, we concocted a brilliant scheme to break into JP Mose’s hotel room
and ambush him when we got back to the hotel.
It seemed like a great idea at 2am.

“Be very quiet, we’re acting like high schoolers.”

“Alright, on the count of three, everyone run into the room and jump on JP!”
(Side note: I was laughing so hard at this point that I peed my pants. True story).

Law was the first one in, and I think he overshot the bed and fell off.

Next up: Craig.

Surprise!

Sorry, JP.  I totally tried to talk everyone out of this, but they made me come along.
And take pictures.

We met in the conference room bright and early for 8 hours of brainstorming.  We also watched
some videos on YouTube that had nothing at all to do with real estate.

Be careful what you wish for, JP.  Just sayin.

Bonjour, Yall!
Dinner at Jazz…

Lots o’ crawfish.  I was afraid to eat one because of the whole “pulling the head off” thing.

Shaun, Steve, JP, and Russ

Nate Andree, Ken Holmes, Steve Cavanaugh

Me and the guys

Cheese!

Fried strawberry deliciousness

Nate talked the singer dude into letting Craig sing a song for everyone.
Nice job, Craig!

There was a giant motorcycle outside the restaurant that sits on top of a fountain and spins in a
circle.  Nate and Law got on for a ride, and then security drove up and we all took off running.
It was awesome.

I smoked my first cigar.  It was not awesome.

I love you, man.

Back to Danny’s for a few cocktails and some good old fashioned arm wrestling.
And then we headed back to the hotel to ambush JP for the second night in a row.
Because we are all 12 years old.

The next day we spent another 7 hours brainstorming (I had to lay on the conference room floor the whole time because my back felt like it was going to fall off).  And then our fearless leader capped off the retreat with an arm wrestling match.

THE END.

So that’s what I’ve been up to guys and gals: masterminding with my pals in the Flip VIPs, peeing my pants laughing, ambushing JP Moses (twice), watching arm wrestling competitions, and being crippled.

Good times.

Well, except for the crippled part.  Being crippled sucks the big one.

10-4 over and out.

P.S.
Anybody have a jar of vicodin I can “borrow”?
