Anyone ever been to a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting?

Just got my annual report and meeting information report. I got a flyer that says shareholders get an 8% discount at Geico, and they mentioned other special discounts at the shareholder meeting.

Just wanted to know if anyone has been to one and what it's like.

I heard that the meeting room is filled with money and you get to make money angels.

I heard Warren Buffet springs for a huge buffet and they all sit around drinking mimosas and eating smoked salmon on toast points.

Sweet, I was hoping to get some free underware, but monel angels will work.

Little factoid in the annual report. They list all the companies they own and the number of employees. At the end.... Corporate Office. Employees 19

I wanted to buy a couple shares of their stocks a few years back. I looked up the price and it was more than the amount of money I make in a year.

Yep, that's what happens when you don't split! Keeps out the riff-raff.
