this will be my 5th (i think) year going and i do agree its lost the intial spark tho. such as most things, they change some for the worse some for better. and you either acclimate yourself to the change or just say that its not your thing anymore. last year w/ it coinciding with spring break, i must say, was a huge turnoff for me. the whole vibe down there seemed very uhmmm... "meat market"-like. you could almost instantly identify someone who was there for the conf and someone who was there just on spring break. nevertheless, i still enjoyed my time down there immensely.
