  • Do It is a manufacturing focused event. Build all day, shoot all night! There’s no seminars, limited vending, and no public displays. But you can build all day and shoot all night (well, until 11:00pm).
  • B product, BP and chems are available by pre-order only. C product is available on site. All product must be shot on site.
  • The host hotel/casino/restaurant/bar is a mile from the shoot site and is usually $50-$60/night.
  • Afterglow isn’t in a poorly lit, stuffy conference room. It’s in a dirt parking lot, on site, with a bonfire and lawn chairs.
