Well, here in New England, seeing as lobsters are more akin to cockroaches than more usual pets, we have no qualms about raising the temperature of their pot at any rate. Pass the butter!

Unfortunately, because of the low volume, I think the shorts are probably getting a good yawn out this move today. Matt needs to play at least nickel slots

Btw, I know I said I did not expect any press and publicity around the launch but I wonder as tomorrow is friday and Sanofi will likely end it's conference if an article or release might come out before or after the market tomorrow in some minor form or another as an acknowledgement that Monday we begin in earnest... I've never done this (or seen it done) but am told that a lobster (or frog) will not move if put in cold water then slowly raising the temperature. This could potentially be what is slowly happening to our short friends... JPG PS: do not do this to your pets please. PPS for PETA: I'm a vegetarian and no animals were hurt or injured while making this post. The trick works for carrots as well

Guys,
I live in Vegas...went to Aria and 100% can confirm Sanofi has the entire lower conference convention hall for Afrezza. Id say 500-600 people. Didn't talk to anyone but saw signs for afrezza. Definitely some security there in front of some conference rooms.

Definitely some security there in front of some conference rooms. Are you saying there were no signs for any other Sanofi products? My understanding is that this is the annual sales gathering and though it includes the pre-launch training for Afrezza, it is not all about Afrezza. I can't imagine 4 days to cover just Afrezza. Afrezza should require no where near that amount of training.

Okay, okay, watch out fellow shipmates. I can see that everyone seems to have vacated the port side of the ship and rushed over to starboard! We've gone from "will it ever launch" and "they won't sell enough" to "get those other lines going, and don't publicize this launch too much or we'll disappoint too may docs and patients with lack of supply."
A picture is worth a 1000 words and that photo of Afrezza all neatly packaged and waiting for a long-anticipated patient to pick up is a Van Gogh! Really got everyone's juices flowing, mannkind's got juice all over him, and he's appropriately giddy and pleased.
Wait till the shorts come back with their photo, shopped with a skull and crossbones and maybe a cockroach perched atop the box.

Dreamboat,
Honestly I am not sure.... I just know the Sanofi team had the whole level 1 convention center booked and I did see rooms that were open with Afrezza on the boards. It wouldn't shock me if they were doing other training for other products but I can assure Sanofi has the Aria convention center and Afrezza is a topic they are covering. I will go again tomorrow and as I mentioned I didn't talk to anyone as they didn't say Afrezza training on conference room menus but rather a different name which if you didn't look in the rooms you wouldn't know it was sanofi. It definitely appears they were trying to keep out people from seeing what they were doing or trying to keep a low profile of what what was going on

sonic22... good luck. Maybe we should all pitch in and send you some cash you could throw around the bar buying sales reps drinks until one of them spills the beans on sales quotas.

Or will they throw you out? I emailed the aria but they never responded.

You could do it all spy-like and tell someone with you to say cheese but the camera is actually pointed to area behind him/her. Or if you really want to get clever (or you're by yourself) you can ask someone to take a picture of you "in the fancy hotel", and you pose near the area you want.

Typically hotels have groups listed on the directional digital display boards in the meeting room areas and lobby area. Just take a picture of that information. Probably by the escalators by the meeting rooms. Look for the Afrezza girls in their bikinis.

If you run into any problems just do some name dropping (IE, I'm with "Mr. Spiro") and you should be fine. If you need bail money call Baba...
