And if Jeremy, Shoeguy, says you HAVE TO GO to this if you are into SEO/SEM, and I live in the Bay Area, I better get my ass down there. I’m trying to work a 50% discount from a guy on SEO Chat right now. Crossing Fingers, cause I can’t afford it otherwise… although Jeremy says I can’t afford NOT to go.

Ok, I’ve got a 20% Discount… can I get a 50%?
