Next
year (2005) Gary is hosting a seminar in New York City. John Carlton
will be there. So will Scott "Mongo" Haines. And yes,
I will be there too. (Along with many other "celebrity"
marketers.) But, each of us will be there as attendees... not
as participants. So don't bother asking any of us questions. We'll
be too busy ourselves taking notes and learning from one of the
handful of true living legends of copywriting and marketing.

There
is no seminar on earth I can think of that would be more worth
attending than the one going to be given by Gary Bencivenga in
2005. You can be certain (barring some sort of (tragedy) every
sane marketing genius in the world will be there to sit at his
feet and learn from him.

You
know, as you walk through life you cannot help but be aware of
all the corrupt business men, thieves, sex offenders, crooked
politicians, war lords, murderers, greedy religious leaders, lying
CEO's, and just plain jerks. But, every once in a while on this
path through life, you come across "a Gary Bencivenga".
A person...

Who
Restores Your Faith In The Decency Of Mankind!

On
a personal level, I would like to wish each and every one of you
a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season (whichever is appropriate)
and I pledge in 2005 I will redouble my efforts to provide value
for you, my newsletter readers.

Sincerely,

Gary C. Halbert

P.S.
I'm feeling especially grateful for all the blessings I have in
my personal life... but...

Don't
Expect That To Continue!

Unlike
Gary Bencivenga, I am unable to sustain kindness, integrity and
decency over any prolonged period of time. Therefore, I can pretty
much assure you that in the almost immediate future I will, once
again, be obnoxious, rude, chauvinistic and 100% politically incorrect.
I'm sorry. I just can't help it!

Peace.
