This year Amway World Wide Dream Builders is holding WWDB Amway Spring Leadership in Calgary, Alberta May 3 – 5, 2013 at the Calgary Stampede Corral. Now I grew up watching John Wayne movies so I know what a corral is. The place where all the cows are herded and its got a fence all around it. My main thing about being inside a corral where a bunch of cows were is you gotta watch what you might be stepping in! Pretty typical of any Amway meetings they’re all full of shit. But a reader clued me in that this corral is an indoor arena and whether or not cows are in there is unknown but we do know they’ll be tons of shit there!
Keeping with my theme of finding better things to do than spend $125 for a ticket to World Wide Dream Builders Spring Leadership 2013 going to an Amway function to get brainwashed I have to say Calgary was nearly as tough a town to find things to do as Spokane was. Not too many attractions that aren’t seasonal or out of town. It looks like Calgary has parks and festivals and rodeos but with time constraints, none that are happening May 3 to 5 2013. Calgary is also one of those Spring Leadership cities that Amway expects a bunch of fucking dumb asses to show up so they hold it over 3 days instead of 2. The slightly smarter Amway IBO’s are given permission to attend Spring Leadership in Honolulu, DC, Denver, or Minneapolis because some upline Amway asshole has decided they can “get it” in 2 days in those cities instead of 3 days in Las Vegas, Spokane, and Calgary.
Calgary Tower - Its open daily 9am to 9pm. The description says from the top you can see the city, the Rockies, and the prairies. Sounds a little dull to me. Tickets cost $15.24. What the fuck kind of price is that? Why not $15 or $16 or $15.25? Normally I would say different prices for different age groups but these prices are so fucking bizarre I have to put them down.. Over 65 years $13.33. Between 13 and 17 $10.48. Ages 4 to 12 $6.67. Then their webpage says you got to put 5% tax on top of that. What the fuck are they charging tax on something like this? You get on an elevator ride up and look at the city and the prairie? I couldn’t find any twofer coupons. At least in Las Vegas the two towers cost about the same price but has 2 for 1 coupons everywhere so $15 for 2 people is a better deal. Go to Spring Leadership in Las Vegas as long as you’re not actually attending the Amway brainwash conference. The view from their towers is a lot more interesting!
The Calgary Zoo. Yup, I have found yet another zoo in a city where Amway WWDB is holding Spring Leadership! The zoo here costs a few bucks more than other city zoos at $22.50. Maybe it costs more to feed animals in Canada? Lower prices for different age groups. At least they don’t have the bizarre penny pincher pricing at the zoo that the tower has. But they still want to charge you tax on top of it.
Glenbow Museum. Some people on Trip Advisor say its a nice museum. Costs $14, slightly less for other age groups. At least this one includes the tax in your admission! I’d still go to the zoo over the museum.
Big Rock Brewery - Seeing as how I’ve found other beer breweries in other towns offering free tours and tasting I decided to check this one out. First thing I found out is they want you to cough up $25 for tour and tasting! $35 if you do the night tour. Holy shit! Did they hear a bunch of ambots were going to be in town and decide to rip them off seeing as how they’re already used to being ripped off by Amway? So I’d say stick with where you can get the freebie beer tours and tasting. But the name intrigued me. Did this Albertan have a big rock in his yard he had to figure out what to do with? The website gave a little more info and apparently there’s this big rock out in a field a few miles south of Calgary that was deposited there by a glacier and people go out there and look at it. Yup. Life doesn’t get much more exciting in Calgary than driving around looking for rocks out in fields!
No offense to anyone from Calgary but it looks like the biggest hit with tourists would be the highway heading out of town!
If you’re married to an ambot try to steer him to Honolulu or Las Vegas for Spring Leadership where at least you’ll have stuff to do while he’s out being brainwashed by the cult leaders.
Here’s some more key words to help Amway IBO’s find their way because the assholes in their upline don’t help out with this top secret information. And because there are a bunch of dumb ass Amway ambots that think they have the power to turn back time and put this into their Google searches: Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2012! And one more for the Amway asshole who is thinking ahead to next year! Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2014. Yup ambots are so fucking brainwashed by their Amway cult leaders they have no clue what year it is!
Las Vegas, Nevada April 12 – 14, 2013 at the Orleans Arena.
Spokane, Washington April 19 – 21, 2013 at the Spokane Arena
Honolulu, Hawaii April 21 – 22, 2013 at The Modern.
Washington, DC April 27 – 28, 2013 at the Hyatt Dulles

And Rocky Mountains only an hour away, Banff national park, Canmore (1988 Olympics) Kananaskis also resort area, NHL hockey and lots more, James
ReplyDeleteJames - its kind of like Denver - stuff to do outside town and seasonal stuff that's not going on at the same time as the Amway convention.
DeleteThe BF just got back from his spring brainwash fest. Apparently they didn't book a hotel ahead of time and tried to use their "mileage points" to get them a room. All the rooms were booked and they got stuck at a broke cheap dirty room . His upline stayed in a vip suite at a nicer hotel . You'd think they would book something ahead of time... The upline being their "mentor" in this should've gave them pointers. Idiots. Anna, he did mention he was going to another function over the summer but I don't think he bought his ticket just yet. Today when we talked about his trip he said he was so tired this morning at work, and I said "well that's life we all have to be up early for work" he replies with "well that won't be true for me really soon!" ... PLEASE! Soon? He can't even get one person to join this. Not ONE! He started replacing his stuff at home with the amway stuff. His mom told me the detergent left her laundry smelling like shit! All of the people who join this are losers... LOSERS! And it's not like me to call anyone that!

ScamFighter - we had the reverse problem at Spring Leadership. Some asshole in our upline booked too many hotel rooms thinking they would be full of ambots and prospects and put them all in his credit card. No one showed up to use them and because he didn't cancel by the cutoff time his credit card was charged $1000 or whatever the total was. Basically Amway ambots are the biggest fuck ups you'll ever meet in your life. And as you figured out they're the real losers.
DeleteHopefully your bf will figure out in the next couple of months to stop wasting his money so someone else's dream can be funded. It's really hard to find one person to sign up to the Amway scam let alone 1000 which would bring in 2-3k/month if you can find that many in your downline.
Hopefully - you were right about him being 100% gun-ho about this joke after this weekend retreat. After being with them for an ENTIRE WEEKEND, he had some other "meeting" at 10 at night with them...FOR WHAT? You were just with these LOSERS! And I don't go with him anywhere to these meetings - while all of these ambots bring their girlfriends and wives. I clearly do not come and that makes the statement that I do not support this. He has work in the morning and told me he the meeting was going to be until AT LEAST 1 in the morning....I replied with "dont you have WORK in the morning?" and he responds with, "If you had the chance to meet and hang out with Bill Gates until late, would you do it?" I told him "I don't care if I had the chance to meet the PRESIDENT - I do not idolize anyone enough to ditch and slack on my responsibilities and duties to the people in my life." Of course he said, "never mind."
ReplyDeleteHe EVEN had the audacity, despite me telling him I am not interested in going to these meetings, ask me
"Why don't you come with me on our weekly meetings? We get to spend time together at least and you'll be away from home and get your mind off of things."
I wanted to snap. I told him ,"I would much rather spend alone time with you on date nights once a week and do things TOGETHER than use something like this as an excuse to spend time together." WTF...we wouldnt spend time together! The ONE AND ONLY TIME i went to this BORING brainwash session, I wanted to gauge my own eyes out. I am doing him a favor by not going, because If i did, I would body slam all of them and end up in jail. and i am not risking my clean record for these losers.
I am so close to writing my own blog about this! I am embarrassed FOR my boyfriend when he talks like this!
Scamfighter - his money to tithe his beloved Amway cult leaders can only hold out so long right. He doesn't have a trust fund or huge inheritance he's sucking dry to support this cult.
DeleteThe reason they get together after spending all day together is so the cult leader can keep them sleep deprived. Many cults use this tactic. Cult followers are tired and can't sleep so they'll agree to just about anything.
Yeah right you'll spend time together at an Amway meeting. You'll be in the same room and that's about it. He will be standing or sitting close to those he loves most and wants to be admired by in the cult. You'll be sitting with some wife who may or may not be pretending she wants to be there. You're better off staying home alone than putting up with the assholes in his upline. Been there know that!
Yeah another blog will be great. So,etching like dating an Ambot the hell with being second behind a box of Scamway soap.
ScamFighter - you'd better be careful about how you react... if your bf sees that you're not with him, his upline will tell him you're against him and he might start thinking of breaking up with you under their influence... that's what happened to me.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I'm sure the assholes in his upline already starting pressuring him to break up with her after his first month in Amway. Nothing gives those bastards more happiness than destroying other people's relationships. I been there too and that's why this blog got started so everyone knows the abuse you put up with from the assholes in your Amway upline.
DeleteBeerfest is on this weekend in Calgary! And guess what, it's in the same building as the corall. Convenient!
ReplyDeleteWonder how that turned out. Bet a lot of Ambot wives went there! More fun for sure!
