Rock on Steve, I was seriously planning on just driving out and chilling in Vegas and doing the after-class events until you announced the free repeat. I'm wondering though... is that 100-150 NEW or TOTAL attendees for the workshop? Is there a concern that so many people will repeat that it might make the workshop larger than you were planning or make it less accessible to those trying to go first the first time? I don't want to steal a seat from somebody who hasn't experienced it yet.

Should people repeating be doing so only if they feel they need another crack at the exercises and content?... or would you encourage repeating even if it was simply to feel the energy and connect with more people? Personally I feel like I've absorbed the message/content pretty well (though a refresher is always good), but I'd be more motivated to reconnect with the other repeat attendees and connect with the newbies.

A thought/suggestion... you may want to have repeaters spread themselves through the room so they don't clump together and end up socializing while you're presenting material they've already heard (esp. on Day 1) and also to spread their energy out evenly and encourage working on new connections rather than resorting to established ones.

Let us know, as of right now though I'm definitely planning to come back out for January!
