Is anyone attending FreedomFest 2012?

http://thedailybell.com/4000/Anthony-Wi ... free-World

FreedomFest is turning out to be THE place to meet – a focal point for libertarians and freedom lovers from around the world.
Dear FreedomFest lovers, We are delighted to announce that Senator Rand Paul will join us for FreedomFest...
New Speakers: Dinesh D’Souza, Robert Kiyosaki, & G. Edward Griffin

Once a year thousands of freedom lovers from around the world gather together www.freedomfest.com. We've been growing ever since, filling a need for us to meet together once a year to learn, network and celebrate liberty – and to fight the evils of the welfare-warfare state.
Has anyone been to this event?

I've never heard of this. It sounds interesting.

From the link, we see that Connor Boyack (I like his work!) will be there, in a debate:

Daily Bell: This being a presidential election year, and with Mitt Romney, a Mormon, the Republican candidate, you are having a unique debate, "Latter-Day Liberty: Should Mormons be Conservative, Libertarian or Social Democrats?" Comment?

Mark Skousen: Yes and it's going to be pretty interesting. We have three viewpoints being presented: Paul Mero, president of the Sutherland Institute, the premier free-market think tank in Utah, as the conservative; Connor Boyack, author of Latter Day Liberty, as the libertarian; and Rory Reid, former Clark County Commissioner in Nevada and son of Senator Harry Reid, as the social democrat. They will each try to make the case that Mormon doctrine favors their political perspective.

This would be the only reason I would attend, for this debate. Go Connor!

I agree, Karend -- GO CONNOR!
