Convince me to go - conference

So I'm on the fence of whether or not to go to the WSO Conference this June. I have a summer internship, so can only fly in Friday late night and out Sunday afternoon. I'm under 21, therefore I can't attend either the before or after party...a shame, I hold my liquor well.

Its $99 for the ticket. $250 for the flight, I live far away. going to puerto rico too for another conference this month (though got a partial scholarship for expenses), another reason why I'm hesitant.

I've read every single one of the 10 threads on wso conf - this year's and lasts. all the comments too. still undecided. please help in convincing me. (I know the whole "how it will pay dividends in future" argument too).

I challenge you to a bear fight. I'll buy.

It will 'probably' be quite a good event for networking, might be some people there who share your interests..

Just one guys opinion
