Hey wolfy!
I went to the one last month in London and I can truly say that I had an awesome time! To me, Tony is an awesome human being and he deeply believes in himself and his learning systems more than anything which makes it easy for him to sell his products.
But at the end when he went on about all the other courses I just switched off as I didn't feel I needed them at this time. I thoroughly had a great time and I didn't let that part spoil my experience of the whole event.
How he keeps on going for the whole day I will never know!
On another note, I did the firewalk too and I was ecstatic when I got to the other side. The horrible thing was, the day before the firewalk, I badly hurt my foot and so I had a 3 inch bruise on the ball of my foot and I could barely walk, but I somehow managed to block out the pain long enough to stand in the queue and go through the firewalk. AND...not to mention they laid down fresh coals just before it was my turn!
but YAY, I still did it without getting burned!
