Default RE: Pattern contest... what makes it worth it?

I like going to a place with a bunch of good people with the same specialized interest that I have. I like seeing the top-of-the-line equipment and seeing the top pilots painting gracious figures in the sky. I like getting away for the weekend, being outside, and staying in a hotel. I also like, more than anything, getting some guidance with my setup and my flying - I am pretty alone here when it comes to precision setups and flying.

If I could change anything, it would just me more contests up north. I am lucky to find one within 3.5 hours, usually they are 5-7 hours away or more. I also wish there were more contestants in the lower classes.
