If you’re just now starting to read up on all-things-Warren in preparation for the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting, you may have missed this great article from about a month ago.
Wall Street Journal: For These Fans, a Day With Warren Offers Wealth of Photo Opportunities
We love seeing all the college students come in during their time with Mr. Buffett. We especially love showing them around Borsheims and telling them all about life as the Oracle’s jewelry store.
“On Sunday (May 6, 2012) around 2 p.m., I will be clerking at Borsheims, desperate to beat my sales figure from last year. So come take advantage of me. Ask me for my ‘Crazy Warren’ price.”We are thrilled to have Mr. Buffett back among our sales staff. He set records last year in his brief stint behind the counter and we expect a longer stay from Mr. Buffett this year. So mark it on your calendar and plan to do some buying. I’m sure you’ll get a deal from “Crazy Warren.”
Warren Buffett live from Borsheims on CNBC’s Squawk Box this morning, talking about the death of Osama Bin Laden and recaps the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ weekend.

Great story about Warren Buffett’s time today as a salesman!
When Warren Buffett sells jewelry in Borsheims this afternoon, it will be a packed house. Due to safety and space constraints, we are limiting the number of people who will be near Mr. Buffett while he sells. That will include media.
We have arranged to have both a still and video pool camera to capture images up close for everyone to share.
The still photographer is Nati Harnik of the Associated Press. You can chat with Nati at the event or call the Associated Press to arrange for photos.
Mason Video is our video pool. They will send me a link to an ftp site with a few minutes of b-roll of Warren selling. I will email that link out to everyone on my media list by late afternoon.
If you received a test email from me this week, you will receive the email with the ftp link this afternoon.
If you did not and you would like the video, shoot me an email at tmeuret1@gmail.com.
You will be able to get some video or still photos of Warren Buffett in Borsheims, but it will be from about 30 feet away and with some shareholders in between.
Thanks so much for your cooperation and understanding!

Do you have your wallets and purses ready, shareholders? Warren Buffett is probably doing some of his pre-sales training right now to prepare for this afternoon at Borsheims.
Warren Buffett has told Berkshire Hathaway shareholders that he’ll be at Borsheims around 1pm to sell to shareholders. I’m sure he would sell you anything, but I am also sure that he’d prefer to sell you something really expensive! He does want to prove he’s a “hot-shot salesman.”
So how can you be one of the lucky few who will get to buy from the big guy himself? Good question.
All we know is that he’ll be in Borsheims sometime around 1pm. So if you’re in the store and actively shopping, there’s a good chance he may show up and be your salesman.
If you’re not at Borsheims today, check back here all day for updates, pictures and video of Warren’s big day on the sales floor!
Good morning! Are you ready for one more day of Berkshire fun???
The Borsheims shareholder-only shopping day and brunch begins at 9am. We have a big spread of food both inside the mall and out in the tent. People usually start lining up early for food, so there’s quite a line at the beginning (but if you can hold off for a while, the line does get much shorter after about 10am).
We’re ready for you to do your shopping, too! Although we’ve made some great sales already this weekend, we have plenty of jewelry, watches and gifts left in the cases for you to peruse.
See you soon!
There seemed to be as many people picnicking as shopping at Nebraska Furniture Mart tonight – and that means huge crowds! The food smelled delicious and the shareholders seemed to be enjoying the cooperative Nebraska weather. What a gorgeous day and a great crowd!
Berkshire Hathaway shareholders who staked out spots early for this morning’s annual meeting had plenty of reading material. The Omaha World Herald published a special Berkshire Hathaway edition. It is great – full of insight to all things Berkshire. They do a run down of who might be in line for Warren Buffett’s job and talk with several shareholders who made the pilgrimage to Omaha.

This is a must-watch from WOWT’s Brian Mastre. He catches a shareholder kissing the driveway at Warren Buffett’s house!!!
