i'm definitely going. Hopefully the weather isn't too bad by then. Has anyone ever bought the VIP package before or know anyone that has? I was looking at getting it and it seems like it would be great but if i can interact with the competitors at some point at the expo, i won't ever bother getting it. To me, thats the only thing that really got me interested in getting it in the first place. I probably wont even bother attending anything else but the pre judging and finals.
