man, i hate AA's CEO - guy is a sleaze bag.
Love to play... Sadly I'm in Atlanta. I'm reading from Russia with love to get me in the mood. Enjoy the show!
Best,
Rob
Need to preparty before hand with this drink:
Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.
You know it.
I am all the way in Boston Tim!
Although I have made overnight trips to San Fran in the past I don't think i can make one this time :-)
Thanks for the awesome offer!

By the way, your twitter background is awfully tempting. You should only have it up on Saturdays :)

Hopefully I'll see you before the movie starts perhaps, because I've got an 8+ hour Krav Maga grading the next day so I need my sleep afterwards!
Thanks for the great offer! Wish I were going to be in SF to join you! We just watched Casino Royale this week with our 12 year old daughter who LOVED it! (Thought she needed prep before seeing Quantum of Solace!)
Sent the link to our son who lives in SF and hope he gets to go!
LOVE your blog and your work - thanks for being you.

I have *so* been waiting for Quantum of Solace to come out - and now I get to go for free. Normally I hit up Jack London Square in Oakland for midnight showings of movies that I'm anticipating - but I guess I can wait a day and make the trek over the Bay Bridge.
Thanks Tim.
(I was feeling kinda of stalkerish when I signed up to get text messages of your Twitter updates, but now...all smiles.)
Also, we live on Market Street so making the movie will be no problem!

Can't wait to read about the Tesla test drive :)
Tim, Whaddabout Phoenix for a location?
You could parachute down (in tuxedo, of course) and *really* make a branding-splash...
Oh well. I'll be with you there in "spirit" (vodka, of course :o)
Cheers,

It's the first JB movie that I've watched and thought that real care and attention had been put into the filming and cinematography.
[Sorry, Drew -- comment rules are comment rules!]
Brilliant idea to charge people $20 for no-show but give them a free ticket otherwise. That made it a bit more of a hassle to invite friends, but seems like a great solution to a perpetual problem.
(Flakiness for events and appointments seems to be one of the negative side-effects of our mobile-enabled society. Now that we CAN call at the last minute, all too often we DO when it really is unreasonable or unnecessary. Just a little respect goes a long way when deciding what is OK to flake on under what circumstances.)
Thanks in advance.

seriously cool jacket.
and... I can take the world travelling, the tango dancing, the languages, the I-can-be-whatever-and-wherever-I-want - but hm, testdriving the Tesla? Now I must consider getting jelous;) Nah, just kiddin', just.. tell us all about it! That car rocks...
James Bond - I'm a true fan who've seen all the movies, though I haven't seen Casino Royal more then maybe 20 times... there is some hope for Bond in this millenium! Favourite scene?
Would love the SF event, but really can't make it - I am on my first mini-retirement in Florence (hope Amy gave you the 4HWW pics?) and will have to wait until the 25th for the un-dubbed version.
Just put on a tux and you should be able to replace Craig when his time's up;)
Keep up the good work!
Isabelle
Just awesome. Thank you for the tickets I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the show. Keep it coming.
Best-Russ
Put me on your short list of people when people don't show. I'm just over in Balboa so let me know.
Excellent idea and this movie is going to rock so much.
Beau
Surprised you haven't mentioned the Super Slow Exercise Protocol yet...being a fan of Arthur Jones (Nautilus)...check it out when you get a chance...

Ciao!
Tim, thanks again for your kind invitation. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, you're the best.
Live it up!
-Dinastia
Sorry for yelling. I think I peed my pants a little.
If I did not have to coach 1st graders on Saturday morning I'd be all over it.
Have a great time peeps...
Dana
Enjoy the film, one of UK's finest exports
What is it about Casino Royale??? If I ever stumble onto it on TV..I simply CANNOT turn away.
Clever password :)
My favorite line from Casino Royale is when he is recovering and she says, "James, if all that was left of you was your little finger, you'd be more of a man than any man I've ever known" and then he replies, "well that's because you know what I can do with my little finger"
(Blushing) Ha Ha...Classic!!!
Can you arrange the free airfare mate.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to your messages.
Drop in for a BBQ if you are in Australia. http://www.goldcoasttourism.com.au/
Kind regards
Gordo on the GC
My prediction is that your tickets will sell out... if i had friends, I would bring them as well.
Can't wait for this movie. I'm with you on the fact that casino royale brought back the bond series. It's too bad I'm in New York.
btw, love the color of that Tesla....(and the way your jacket to it! haha)
Best,
Benedict
You guys are hysterical. FYI, there is a good chance (not 100%, but about 99%) a few tickets will be left over, so please keep an eye on www.twitter.com/tferriss, as that's where I'd announce it on Friday.
I've never had so many comments on a jacket in my life!
The jacket I'm wearing in the Tesla pic is -- by far -- my favorite jacket of all time:

A little pricey, but well worth it IMHO. It'll last a long time.
Pura vida,
Tim
Keeping fingers crossed for extra tickets... Debating whether I'd keep it for myself or give it to a friend who is a hardcore enthusiast since I'm just a casual fan.

{{{ HUGS YOU }}}
Everyone have wonderful fun..
:)
See ya,
Joe
You were leasing one, weren't you?
i´m from Germany. I have seen the movie last week. Just Great. A bit short for a Bond Movie, but the 100 Minutes playtime were so awesome.
Tim you will love it. Daniel Craig ist James Bond - James Bond is Daniel Craig.
My Name ist Wunderwald, Marco Wunderwald CIAO07 ;-)
Thanks,

James Bond, Fast cars, Hot women, Evil bad guys, Martinis, and Mr. T…

How can I hire Amy, too? Or, Amy, do you have a colleague or friend you'd recommend for work as a VA?
please(!) feel free to email me
thanks helpful people,
Bill
Have fun at the movie! Just wanted to give a quick shout out to the under-appreciated team in the Bond films, the Stunt guys, especially my buddy Ben Cooke who doubles for Daniel Craig, his site is http://www.bencookestunts.com/Site/stunts.html Benny and the boys apparently pulled out all the stops for Quantam so it should be an awesome movie. Enjoy!
Cheers
Mick
How cool is it that you're thanking US for helping to make this year one of your best, I'm quite certain you could find millions who would correct you to say that you have made OUR lives a wonderful ride this year as well!!!!!
Pure vida,
Wish I was in SF. I have a friend there you need to meet and a Tango dancer friend in Minnesota you need to meet as well. Legs up to your neck!
Cheers,
Doc
PS. Your book was very liberating! This time next year i will be outsourcing my lifestyle blog, driving a maserati, and sipping pina coladas on the beach in Monaco with a couple 007 babes!!, thanks for your inspiration!
Kris
everything moderation, including moderation!
I love the action in any movie, but funny how fantasies run high about how they shoot heavy guns and romance at same. Unlike real war and heavy guns dealerships.
I prefer the romance part, I think that him-kissing-her-back-scene is indeed my favorite... I had that cat laugh in your tee... hehe.

I was at first skeptical of the new Bond ... but no longer! These two movies are a new high water mark for others to test.
Perhaps a disproportionately personal question to such a light-hearted post, but here goes!
Do you always have the attitude you exhibit in this post? Is your internal monologue like the voice from which you write? Do you always feel this alive, engaged, and confident? Has it always been this way? Were you on cloud nine as regularly before, say, your book hit stores, or even before you had success with BrainQuicken? In a sentence: do you have the regular ups and downs of normal mortals in between your invigorating posts?
Thank you!
Alec
Ahhh, not only are the tix all gone (a lesson I should have already learned: follow Tim's Tweets!), that's on my to-do list, but I'm out of town in Big Sur for the weekend...and I just moved to Oakland (no, not to be closer to you).
One thing I did notice, as I mournfully scrolled your tweets just now to see if tix were still left, is that you use Pandora. Have you checked out Grooveshark? It absolutely kicks @$$.
Thanks for the continued inspiration.
Fingers crossed!
PS - $20 surcharge was worth the gamble; mostly, because the concept is brilliant.
Also pleased to report I finally have a DIY version of AWeber up and running since their turnkey solution didn't quite fit my needs. Feeling very empowered by the automation! ;)
Cheers,
Raina
You know Tim, you're going to have to post a follow up to this post about your comments on it...after watching Casino 20 times! That's incredible btw!
Dan
Well, it's not ALL action. It does have quiet dialogue scenes (that I think are necessary for a great thriller). And the plot is cohesive and makes perfect sense IF YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION. Having read before I saw Q.O.S. that it was complicated, I made sure to pay close attention to every snippet of dialogue and every document/photo/clue shown on the screen, and was well rewarded for my efforts. Absolutely everything fits, if you pay attention.
If you can't follow the plot, then it's certainly nothing to be PROUD of, as so many (stupid?) critics seem to be.
Just finished your book. Loved every bit of it. Saw the premier of QS in Denver, while dressed in a tux after a Bond Martini. I wasn't as impressed with it as I wanted to be. 7/10 on my scale, but the opening sequence and song, opera scene, and part with Mathis were the best of the film.
Thomas Crown Affair 2 is coming out in 2009. We'll keep our eyes peeled for that one!
Thanks for the Inspiration,
Trent
I always enjoyed seeing the grand reveal of gadgets. Yes, the new films have plenty of cool devises - GPS phones, glass table projectors, etc. But I wanted to see a watch that was also a knife/camera/laser/chicken potpie maker. Is that so much to ask?
Also, Daniel Craig didn't smile once. I think every other Bond gave a certain confidence and charm when he smiled.
Where's Q and Blofeld when you need em.
(This mini review does not reflect the opinions of management) :-)
OH and the HORROR, wrecking a Aston Martin in the opening sequences and never having Bond in a decent car the rest of the movie.
