What's the usual Lockpicking Village scene like? I've never been to one.

Can you basically hang out and just pick locks and swap lies the whole time? Nirvana!
Is there an exhibit floor like the mainstream conventions? And $85 really covers the whole thing? WOW!!!
Since I teach Keyless Entry to Law Enforcement Officers, there is a lot of support material I can bring like common cylinders pinned in increments, clamped practice locks, etc - also sale stuff like picks and pick sets. Are there any problems selling or possessing picks in NYC?

Can help out, too. Or even teach a seminar in basic picking or particular common techniques (making/using padlock shims, combination locks, forcible entry technique, etc). Not to the depth of a Datagram or one of the 100lb brain guys - but well enough that participants have a good time and learn enough to have a decent shot at picking locks.
