So I just got back from the BP Mag's "Get Out More Tour" and it was pretty neat. They had a lot of information, mostly geared towards more beginner style backpackers or people getting into the sport, but I was still interested to see what they had to say about new products and different styles of products.
Even won a door prize - a 1 yr extension to my subscription to the mag!

So did anybody else go to one of these, or are planning on going to one in your area?
