I've only been with ACell for just over a year now. I heard people at NSM talking about Cafe Pharma and they were laughing hysterically about some of the things that were being said (calling them Tiny Bonacorso and Joke Siebert, I won't even say what they were calling Darren) and how accurate they are. I spent the majority of my evening reading through all of these posts. And I can honestly say this...
At NSM I couldn't help but to notice that as Darren, Tony, Joe, and a few others stood around and were talking, it reminded me a lot of the movie American Psycho. In the scene where they are all in the conference room humble bragging about getting reservations at top restaurants, sizing each other up with each others suits, analyzing haircuts, and comparing business cards. "Marcus and I go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut." Let's see Paul Allen's business card... "Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark."
You could just tell each of them showed up to NSM trying to outdo each other and look on top of their game as much as possible, only to analyze each other in person to see where they were outdone. Imagine going through life being that much of a loser. They should have never given these people money.
If you want to full understand this picture I'm painting...
