I have traveled about 90 minutes, but the booth was a real dud and I'm actually glad that the 2 bookings I got flaked out on me. They were both beyond the booth location for me. It's important to consider that you'll get bookings from a booth that may be farther from your house than the event is. And if you're not willing to drive that far for a show, don't do the booth.
