What?! $375 -- that's *it*?! Listen, this man's own employees (known as
athenistas) would pay $375 for an evening with Jonathan Bush, and they see
him all the time. In case anyone is missing the point, it isn't the beers
in New Orleans, though beers in New Orleans with Jonathan will surely be an
experience -- it's the exchange of ideas with Jonathan Bush that is
fascinating. He's not for the faint of heart, though; you better stretch
beforehand. But this is the beauty of Jonathan: he will stretch and
challenge you, but you can engage him right back. Just don't blather on
(positively or negatively) about his famous family. Jonathan Bush is his
own person, and once you stop wasting time trying to falsely forge some big
conspiracy theory linking the President's remarks on healthcare and
Jonathan's execution of his grand passion, you will have cleared the floor
for what is really interesting, and that is thinking with Jonathan Bush --
yes, over beers in New Orleans.
Maybe you can’t afford to have a beer with Jonathan Bush, maybe you are
disappointed that Eclipsys did not win “Smartest Vendor Strategic Move” for
hiring Andy Eckert as CEO, but you can still have lunch with Jonathan and
Andy next week if you are attending HIMSS 2007 in New Orleans.
I just put a bid in at 1250. I hope I win, it would be fun to find out if
Jonathan knows about FreeB
