I had the opportunity to attend the second annual Let’s Play Green Bay this past weekend (April 12-14). Last year I only attended one
day, but was able to finagle both Friday and Saturday this time
around. Conventions can be great fun and
the large ones are mini-vacations, in and of themselves. But they can be expensive and
intimidating. Smaller, regional, low-key
events will provide much of the same flavor, if not all of the same thrills, in
a more accessible and casual atmosphere.
You can also save on travel expenses by attending closer conventions –
or as in my case, staying with family!
