Got invited to the Panasonic Event in NYC. Wondering if I should go? Think it will be worth it, looks kind of cool. http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/20/win-a-chance-to-ride-along-with-engadget-for-a-private-briefing/
It says you have a chance to win a lot of the new stuff their showing. I want to go but not if theres going to be 5,000 people and it takes the whole time to see one thing.
it doesn't sound like your too interested. Me personally, if I was invitedI would go regardless of the number of people. Good place to ask the technical questions also to see what is up and coming for the near future.
its an exclusive event though isn't it? Unless you have a better offer what do you have to lose? You said its only 15 minutes away. I say why not. I'd be all over it if I had the tickets and lived there.
