For a mere $8 (adults), you can see what heaven is like.
Police, fire, military and Elvis imitators get in free. (But isn't
there a penalty of imitating a policeman?)
I would go, if I had a bunk- house and a "tank".
You really should go and pick up girls. Being as close as you are.
I take it this is not as big as the Texas State Fair...
Evidently this "Guy Expo" is a wandering show. Their web site has photos
from one held in Minneapolis and they just completed one held in St.Paul
(maybe the same one?).
As for girls, well yeah. I used to advise the ladies to attend HAL-PC
meetings (Houston Area League of PC users). "There's bad news and good
news," I would argue. "Bad news: the 15,000 male members are all geeks. The
good news is they all have a job."
"Works for me" was the common reply.
