  Lynn and I went to visit Warren Buffett last weekend since he wanted my investment ideas. pff All jokes aside, the annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway started at 8 am, May 1st. We set off on Friday night. Stayed at Days inn about an hour away from Omaha. Then we woke up really really early 5.30 am then get breakfast along the way. It says in the schedule that there s a company movie. I had thought it would be something about how BRK started up 40 years ago.
Was I in for a surprise. If you d thought it would be boring, you would have been so wrong. The movie was BLOODY hilarious. The movie alone was worth the trip. Stars of the show: Warren Buffett , Bill Gates , Arnie , Judge Judy and the Saturday night Live crew. The movie contains many skits making fun of these guys and they play themselves. You wont be able to see it in any cinema. The meeting took place at Quest Center. It seats about 16,000 people. It was jam packed. After the movie, Warren and Charlie Munger , his partner sat down for Q&A sessions lasting 6 hours. They are both very intelligent and have a good sense of humour. Listening to them was quite an eye (and ear) opening experience.
The whole time Lynn and I sat next to an older couple from Indiana. Undoubtedly they were millionaires. They were both very nice to us. The husband kept asking if i have any questions about Warren Buffett . Think he was really eager to share his knowledge seeing that we got in on a $ 2.50 ticket. Normally it s reserved for shareholders but a share costs nearly $90K .!!!!
(a whopping sum by any measures or currencies except polish Zloties , sorry Poles) After the meeting ended, we learned that we could get to see Warren if we had brought our passports since he wanted to meet those who traveled a long way. WHAT A BUMMER . In any case, the whole experience was really worth the trip. I highly recommend it to any one who s a least bit interested in investing. There s an M's Pub in the old market. I wonder if I should move to Omaha. urlLink M's Pub in Omaha, Nebraska
