I recently came back from a trip to Las Vegas. I was privileged to be able to take part in the very first Fabric Community Conference. It was a great event, well attended. BUT... It was in Las Vegas.

I am not a fan.

First of all, Vegas is just far too noisy for me. I prefer to hear the world as opposed to machines and constantly blasting music. I'm not a show person. I, mostly, don't care for gambling (I do find craps fascinating, but I hate losing money). I feel like Vegas is overpriced too. Food's great though, but it costs a fortune. Overall, Vegas just isn't for me, even though I tend to go there at least once a year, sometimes more. It's the job.

On the other hand, I saw a lot of people, even families with kids (spring break week here in the States), having a blast. They love it. Maybe it's the shows. Maybe it is gambling. The games. The bars. Heck, the noise and lights. People love it.

And that's OK.

Just because I don't care for it doesn't mean I'm going to try to take it away from others. I am firmly against the idea of "wrong fun." Meaning, you can have fun in ways that I approve and enjoy. We really are individuals. I might enjoy sitting at a quiet bar, murmuring crowd in the background, while I sip a wine and read a book. Others would find that incredibly dull. Still others would find the bar distracting them from their reading. More others (I have a limitless supply) would object to the alcohol. All of that is OK, as long as we don't try to force anyone to "right fun" and away from "wrong fun."

In short, to each their own.
