Then you have no reason to go at all. Your boy is far more important at this stage of the game. Right now, I use the shows as a "vacation" just to get away from working for a couple of days. But I didn't attend any shows from 2002 to 2007 because I enjoyed vacations in the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Mexico FAR more with my family.
Only reason I started going back to them was when I opened Claudia-Marie's site. And I admit I've done 7 figures worth of business at shows back in 2007 (the deals and relationships are still paying of over time)
But I've run out of shit to do at them these days. So it's just a chance to have some drinks and laughs with people in the same biz. I wouldn't go at all if I had a 2 year old son. Don't blame you one bit.
