So much money and then a long wait in line, all in order to go to an overpriced hotel with overpriced drinks in the middle of August to sweat ass and not be blown away with a hurricane ... Oh yeah, makes absolute sense. Great incentive to going.
Maybe the following convention can be $500 per person in Death Valley and everyone can walk 30 miles from the airport with their bags. And every attendee has to get needles as a snake-bite and scorpion-sting preventative and water is $20 per six ounces. Yeah, that would be a definite draw!
