Then of course there might be more expenses for me being BabyMaker! lol, to make it fun, might have to invest in a bunch of over-the-top pimp suits

I am one cheap SOB and have never felt like I had wasted money going to Vegas to meet board members.
The next show is XBIZ Summer Forum in July and it's a good show with lots of meals and drinks paid for.
$150 for the show, rooms last year at the hotel were in the $130 a night rang (Useless Celtic Tiger and I stayed off site and saved like $50 a night). I find the biggest expense is what is spent on gambling
