Is anyone here going to General Conference in February either as a guest or a delegate?

I am not a delegate but I've thought about going. Its within a reasonable distance from where I live and I have folks I could stay with in St. Louis. But, at the same time, I'm afraid the meeting will be so contentious that I also am not sure I want to be there.

I would love to go if it was only a little closer. I'm wondering if there will be a public online stream that will be accessible during the conference?

I believe it will be streamed. And that is my fall-back plan if I decide not to attend. Though, since I'm not a voting delegate, what I'm most interested in are the final decisions.

Unless I have a good opportunity to travel there with very little cost, I'm not planning on going. As I also wouldn't be able to vote, I'm not sure it would really be the best use of my time other than never having been to a general conference or St. Louis before.
