			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you didn&#8217;t like Scary SEO then you definitely will not like <a href="http://events.imbroadcast.com/im-spring-break.htm">IM Springbreak</a>. IM Springbreak is going to be held at the same place in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on April 2-4. This is not going to be an exciting event and here are<a href="http://www.imbroadcast.com/blog/?p=7"> 7 reasons why you don&#8217;t want to attend</a>.</p>
<p>1. You will realize that Dave Snyder is actually not a human and is a bear. <img src="http://www.brianchappell.com/wp-content/dave-bear-snyder.png" alt="dave-bear-snyder.png" align="right" /></p>
<p>2. You own 456,000,000$ worth of domain names. You don&#8217;t need to try in life anymore &#8211; it is effectively game over. Therefore attending the conference and learning a ton is not priority.</p>
<p>3.Â  You have to listen to me speak about things that don&#8217;t get regurgitated in the blogosphere.</p>
<p>4.Â  You get nervous when getting ridiculously unique, great answers about your current internet marketing initiatives, from A list experts that would never give you the light of day at a large impersonal conference.<span id="more-96"></span></p>
<p>5.Â  <strong>You are allergic to fun. </strong></p>
<p>6. Because you think the bacon explosion on your computer screen will taste better by licking the screen than in person eating it from the creator himself, TheMadHat.</p>
<p>7. You enjoy spending 2,455$ to attend large conferences, and frankly having to spend 500$ to see<br />
Chris Winfield &#8211; Kenny Hyder &#8211; Greg Finn &#8211; Brent Csutoras &#8211; Reg Saddler &#8211; Todd Mailcoat &#8211; Neal RodriguezÂ  &#8211; Li Evans &#8211; Jeff Quipp &#8211; Brian ChappellÂ  &#8211; Carolyn Shelby &#8211; Wil Reynolds &#8211; Rhea Drysdale &#8211; Steve Plunkett &#8211; Rae Hoffman &#8211; Michael Streko &#8211; Aaron Chronister &#8211; Frank WatsonÂ  &#8211; Brandy Eddings &#8211; David Szetela &#8211; Chris Hart &#8211; Pamela Lund andÂ  Tony AdamÂ irritates you.</p>
<p>With that said I definitely do not want to see the following people at the event. Whatever you do guys &#8211; do not show up!</p>
