Honestly, I'm really not sure if FP Arizona or any of the local FPs really have any direct effect on my fantasy success. I learn things, sure, but it's not like it's as functionally helpful as BBHQ, Rotowire updates, checking this place regularly, or any other thing I use. However, it's great to have fantasy talk with people who know what they are doing and have educated opinions. And it's great to see people you know who share similar interests. It's well worth the time and price for me, just for that.

There was that one year where I was one of two Asian guys. Then the last time I went we met (dammit I forget this name now) the African American guy and I single to him to come over to the cool kids table. LOL.

I go to Boston every year for the last three and it's great. It's great to listen to the presenters go in depth and be able to interact with guys like Ron Shandler, Todd Zola and Ray Murphy. I always try to know my stuff inside and out before I get there but they always give you stuff you haven't considered.Find that level above your head and help you reach it.

Originally posted by Fresno Bob View PostWhile I get that Florida doesn't seem to work, I'm stunned that at a minimum Dallas doesn't work economically for Ron.
They need two cities within reasonable proximity to make it work. Reasonable being LA/SF, Wash/NYC/Bos, some combo of Chi/Cle/Det/Stl
I've posted this before, but we did an extended spring conference like the Phoenix one in Tampa several years ago -- and it was in conjunction with the NFBC -- there were more speakers than attendees and we asked a couple of speakers not to make the trip.
I personally had a blast -- I'd much rather be at a spring game than a casino in Vegas where I would have been for the NFBC otherwise.Follow me on Twitter @ToddZola
