Although I don't live in Colorado I would definitely head on over there if it was more summer spring time, just so nobody has to deal with weather trying to get there. Would be nice to see lessons taught in first hand instead of flipping through pics every min to see if ur doing this or that right or judge which leaf deficiency you from the pics u downloaded. I like the idea of samples being brought for judging and etc. Carbon bags aren't that cheap but for a real hobby vacation I would buy 2 just because. Think there are several topics that could be discussed curing, alternative ways to achieve the same outcome (home remedies vs buying a bottle of fix it at hydro store), maybe some team challenges who can build a hydro setup the quickest, or build a super soil fastest, hell idk but it be a pretty good day to wear a AFN badge around ur neck while attending AFN expo. Maybe vendor's, edible demo how to make them along with oils and concentrate items, all I know is if it was to happen and I can attend i wouldn't miss for anything. Can u guess the strain challenge, the breeder, etc etc.
At one point, everybody needed to learn how to do what we do. 
will do
