Hoop,
The Miggle event is the best social event in the hobby in my opinion. I've been to a few in the last ten years and I will be there this year (next year)....FINALLY!! I haven't made it to others because of finances. I used to go and sell enough stuff to pay for my trip but in the last 4-5 years that is not the case anymore. I think a lot of it is location. When it's in the far east it is more populated because of the people out this way that play. We have large pockets of players here in the east. The west guys deserve much recognition because they fly every year to where ever it is. I always applaud them for that. I honestly think if everyone could get there for a reasonable cost and they could do fairly cheap they would. Everyone that goes to Miggle has fun. It's a great time and great way to meet everyone you type to all year long. It also helps to know who to stay away from! I've lost more friends once they finally met me in person.
