I had a tremendously great time at the National. I bought nothing today and was there for 12 hours enjoying catching up with friends and walking around and learning about all kinds of things. The hobby is what you make it. Today was awesome. And it would have been awesome had I bought some things. Despite all the doom and gloom there are a load of really good people in the hobby. If all you want is doom and gloom then that is all you will find. There is still a lot of good out there but if you aren’t looking for it I promise you won’t find it.
