Yes, it
would be a nice time of year to head out that way. Unfortunately I can't justify the cost just to have a fun day. I can take solace in the fact that when it's hovering in the single digits here in January I'll be headed to Las Vegas for CES.
I didn't know about that. Probably would have been cool, although I'd argue that Newton, IA is moving out of the midwest and more a part of the plains states.
I will say that Emofest is a mere 8hr drive from me, which is very cool although scheduling issues have prevented my attending the last two years since I've known about it.
Either way, I'm probably just suffering from a bit of geography envy since summer is over and it's getting cold. Hope everybody has fun. I'll look forward to hearing the new products soon.
