  Have you been to a festival or convention that you regret?

  Remember back when when people would boycott by not paying? Now they pay, complain and then tape their own stupidity.  😂

  The main point of a Farmer's Market (for me) is to save money by cutting out the middle man. Spending MORE than retail at a farmer's market is wild! 😳

  Scams only work because people are open to be scammed. $63 for two burgers and he still bought them. $22,000 to rent the space and she still went ahead. Just say no for goodness sake.

  As someone living paycheck to paycheck now....I'm more amazed that people even have this kind of money to waste.

  As an event coordinator, I don’t allow MLM or AI into my events. Hand made only means hand made only.

  My favorite past time is getting drunk before a festival, walking around enjoying the music and atmosphere then going home and eating frozen pizza

  It&apos;s gotten so bad that our 6 year old doesn&apos;t want to go to any festivals because he doesn&apos;t want to wait in the long lines to do anything &amp; instead wants to go to the local farm to feed the animals. We save lots of money now

  Comic Con was once a small event where comic book artists and writers got together to celebrate their craft and &nbsp;network.
