Re: [Killietalk] Attendance at events

Money is a relative thing.  You put it where you want to put it.  Almost 
everyone has "discressionary" money.  Some go out to eat (even if at 
McDonalds) some bowl, some golf, some drink or buy toys.  It is really 
usually a matter of where you want to put it.  I figure a convention to be 
about $600.  That covers lodging, travel, meals and a few fish purchases for 
a great weekend getaway.  Not too bad.  Bring some fish to sell and cut the 
cost somewhat too.   That is $50 a month.  Probably equivalent to 2 rounds 
of golf a month for the summer, plus a real cheap bowling league for the 
winter, or maybe a weekly dining at McDonalds.  Not all that extravagant 
living.  I am sure some people just do not have the money to come based on 
distance some years, but I think that does not apply to most.  A matter of 
where you put your priorities.   Same goes for scheduling.  I know of few 
things that I can plan many years in advance and know the exact date as is 
for the AKA convention.
