All,
Thanks for the feedback- yes I knew all about the things you are talking about well before going into the deal. I went to the parties without expectations, and really just wanted to see them since I had heard so much about them. There were certainly a lot of less desirable girls there, young, poor, green card sharks, etc. I sorted them out with no problem. For me the opportunity to meet that many girls in one place at one time was something I just always wanted to see. In the end I met some GREAT people, expanded my personal network considerably and made priceless connections in Cali. As far as Bruce selling entry to guys in the lobby, who cares? I knew all of that before I ever went and factored all of it in.
I also met several girls that I had been talking to from Amigos.com, Match.com, etc. I had probably 12 girls already lined up to meet that I have been talking to for months. The TLC party was just a part of my overall plan. As many people have said here, the whole process is really "buyer beware". I did see some guys there get hooked up with girls in one day and were talking serious with them. For me that is loco. Even if I did meet a girl there at TLC, or anywhere for that matter, it is really just the begginning of the process. I have done this enough times to know you have to take a lot of time to know the girl, and I would never rush into anything.
The next time I go to Colombia, I'll probably do the Agency thing with some of the owners that post here. I'll arange some citas, date some girls, and experience that angle of it. For anyone traveling to Colombia, or any LA Country to find a girl, the thing is to keep an open mind and be realistic. If you want to find cute girl in one night that will SEEM to be crazy about you, you can do it in about one hour there. But finding a quality woman that REALLY likes you for you is another story. Thanks again.

William

I'm glad you had a good time but you paid out the ass for very little value.  

If having a bunch of desperate green card sharks mixed in with very few nice girls trying to con you into a fast marriage is your idea of fun then go for it.

You are very green and ripe for a scam.  Read these archives and get some education.

Did you know that Bruce sells his tours to guys in the lobby for less than half of what you paid?

The dirty little TLC secret.

Heat,
Thanks for your comments, but your perceived value may be different that mine, no? You are dead on about the quality of girls there, the mix, etc. But as I said I really just wanted to see the event. Life is about experiences, no? I would say if someone put all their eggs in one basket and went to a TLC party hoping to get married, they would probably find themselves a girl alright, but would probably miss out on better opportunities. For the experience was worth the cost. As others mentioned, you can throw a rock in any direction in Cali and hit 5 beautiful woman, at the Mall, in McDonalds, in a club etc. They are all friendly and easy to approach. In the end I will be continuing my relationships with a doctor in Bogota and a beautiful Paisa in Medellin. I didn't meet either of them at TLC. But then I didn't expect to :-) I had a lot of fun at the parties, and that was what I wanted from the experience. Thanks again~

That sounds like an excellent idea.  Study Spanish and take your time.  I hope you find happiness.

Good luck!
