That sounds like a great time. It's nice seeing a community come together in a big event like that, even if they don't talk to each other for the rest of the year xD

Next time you get the chance, go to one. I spent a lot of time inside too (so much so I got a vitamin d deficiency living in a hot place). But, there's nothing quite like seeing or doing something you've never done before. However, it's always a bit nicer if these things are local. If not a convention, go to a fair or smaller local event.

How much Is the admission fee nowadays?

I've had a brief look on their site, but unless I've completely overlooked It, there Isn't any details.

"DEF CON 26 will cost $280 USD Cash for all four days. Do we take credit cards? Are you JOKING? No, we only accept cash - no checks, no money orders, no travelers checks. We don't want to be a target of any State or Federal fishing expeditions."

Goodness me, I did not think the cost will be anything close to that. It may be expensive but from what I've heard, certainly worth It.

The credit cards Is stating the obvious.

Yea plus you have to consider flight + hotel + food + transportation + fun things. Most people I know that go end up spending 1 -2k. Definitely worth it though if you have that kind of money.

Agree.

Where I reside, I'd have to account for all the above expenses and more. No doubt, It'll be worth every dime.

For me that's a giant international flight to see loved ones. Most I've ever spent is still below 100GBP. Then again, I lived within a couple hours of London before.

Lol like you said, I think most sane people would use that money else where
