I get kind of annoyed at the disappointing return on investment. Sometimes I find good new affiliates or a new service or new program to promote or am more motivated to promote a program I already knew about after a show. But, more often, drunk people who are out of their element tend to unsell me on stuff I was totally ready to buy.

There are so many shows now that a lot of people will be missing from any given one.

The culture of the shows has been evolving in this weird direction where there are people who are all "but aren't we friends?" when you want to do some business and "it's just business" when you expect them to act like friends.
