Hi Doug,

This is great to have a new event with a lower entry price. I think that it's the right direction.

Just to toss this out, do you think that you can ever create an event that runs at about $100 to $150 a day instead of at least $200 a day?

I think there would be a lot of interest in something like that as an average working person here in America earns something around $150 or so a day. Considering that they might take a spouse or even a child or two, even at $200 a day this can add up to $800 a day or more. Thus the average person needs to work about a week to pay for each day at the event. This of course is before good old Uncle Sam takes his cut and they pay for the usual living expenses. So even for folks who are really interested and enthusiastic about going to an event, the cost is just way out of their reach (don't forget the travel costs to get to the event for up to 4 people).

I'm not sure if you ever thought about this but that is my 2 cents.
