Well, West coast attendance was certainly up, does anyone have attendance
records to compare ? I don't recall it being billed as the "biggest ever"
after the fact, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
And do you really think east coast attendance wouldn't drop if the event
were another 1000 miles away ? Or 1500 ?

But maybe there's just a bit of difference between driving 2000 miles round
trip, and 5000 ? Remember, I'm the guy doing the 5000 ... 2000 sounds a lot
better to me !

That's a non-sequitur. Your words, not mine.
