These are the days...

I remember a place, deep in the woods,  where we used to go to party when we were kids many years ago.

We really had some amazing times there.  Most people would look forward to midnight when the "DJ" would turn the music loud and the energy picked up.

I, on the other hand, always looked forward to the preparation BEFORE the party.  That is when only a few people gathered to light the fire, and anxiously wait for what the night had in store. 

Anticipation before a big event is almost always as exciting as the event itself.

I can relate this to the changes we have made over the years to GoNextWorld.  The August 1st Cardless launch was a day I will never forget and it was a day that took 6 months of preparation.

The December 12th deployment might be a little more serious, though.  We went cardless on August 1st, but no one outside of PA would see it.

That will all change on December 12th.  Since GNW will be bundled with a current software package that's already nationwide, its one step closer to the real vision.

As the 14 people from the GNW team work to get everything ready for the big event, I feel like listening to some music.

"DJ", can you play something from the ol' days that might make for a good/cheesy montage someday? .....

Thanks

 The preparation BEFORE the big event is still my favorite part.
