I have checked out quite a few photos from the BM every year.
I have also talked with quite a few folks who say that doing it once seemed
to be enough.
Apparently it can get pretty dusty, like MAJOR dusty so expect that
everything you own will get filled with dust and dirt.
I like the creative pics of some of the art projects, some are pretty cool.
I have to agree with Stan on this one. If you not into that kind of
environment its not going to be much fun.
Doug
