I wouldn't give up vacation days to be around:
stone-face warriors
tapout shirts
permabulkers
egomaniacs
schmoes
androgenous females

All the following (and worse) can be found at just about any sporting event, BB show, MMA event, etc....who you choose to hang around is up to you
The ASC is a great weekend to catch up with industry friends, business assoc., BB fans, and be a part of whats going on...lots of free stuff for the fans, and plenty of events to attend....
