Post-party update (yes, I am still alive)

It is the DAY AFTER

The first Daily Email House pool party and associated "I endorse YOU" auction wrapped up yesterday at 6pm my time.

All the partygoers were beautifully behaved, a real peace-love-understanding-respect crowd.

Today I found no broken glass, no food on the floor, and no pee in the pool (from what I can tell at least).

Still, it's a bit of a mess after every party. Since yesterday was a banger, it's gonna take me a while to clean up.

All that's to say:

If you have DM'ed me over the past 18 or so hours, and I haven't gotten back to you yet, I will get back to you.

If you participated in the auction and are wondering where your promised PARTICIPATION POOL PARTY FAVOR is, it's coming. (I gotta write it up, but I can tease you by saying it is something we have already voted on in this community and have seen significant interest in.)

As for prizes for intermediate top-bidder winners:

@Thomas Lalas

- wins a physical copy of the best book I have found to date on the topic of SHOWMANSHIP. Will send it out... soon.

@Yehoshua Kahan

- wins licensing rights to one of my courses, to sell in perpetuity and keep 100% of the money. I'm already in touch with Yehoshua about which of my courses he wants to claim.

Best/funniest comment prize - I will announce that in a special post, because it's deserving of a special post. But partygoers probably have a good sense of who's gonna win it.

Special thanks to both

@Maliha M

and

@Chris Dyson

, who were helping me behind the scenes, and without whom this party wouldn't be what it turned out to be.

And now...

At this point, it's little secret who our auction winner is. But still it deserves repeating and putting into lights as much as possible:

Our AUCTION WINNER IS..

@Nick Bandy

!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I will be promoting and boosting and making a spectacle out of Nick in the coming weeks and months, until I have paid off the $31k he has wisely entrusted me with.

Since Nick is the winner, he also gets IMMEDIATE RECOGNITION AND BRAGGING RIGHTS.

I know some folks have already sought Nick out, gotten on his email list, and even joined his Skool community.

If you haven't done so yet, do so now... or don't. And just wait. I am sure to give you lots of REALLY REALLY SEXY inducements to seek out Nick and his list soon.

Final thing I want to say while I am still here, leaning on my mop:

Thank you for being there participating, and for being part of this group.

It was a wild ride yesterday.

Of course, the auction had a crazy result with the final winning bid, which I will be shopping around and making into a key part of my online identity for the foreseeable future.

But what surprised me — I was told it's true, but didn't believe it — is how much of a fun and community-building exercise this auction turned out to be.

You can bet we will see more auctions in the future.

But not today, or even tomorrow.

I still a lot of cleaning to get done, and once done, I will take the weekend to try to recover from my hangover.

Also, I'm never drinking margaritas again. Or maybe it was the Bloody Mary's? Or maybe that last beer I had...
