Good points Ted. When is southern California going to anti up and get a fest

Having lived in SoCal, and asked the same question many times of many people, I
think a lot of it is that there are still some hard feelings after the
BricksWest incident.
Also, many people have expressed the hard question of whether or not to involved
LEGOLAND. Once you are that close, shouldn’t you go see it? Should the
convention be there, or take a trip there? Which opens a whole new shipment of
worms. And the administration of LEGOLAND is torn on the question as well,
making collaboration hard.
But if Ted and ILTCO and NMRA can’t get a show there, no one can. A parasitic
general LEGO-related fest along side sounds good to me.
SoCal is probably the closest likely location for a fest for me. And with an
eight hour drive, I’d still look at flying. So I think a major airport hub is
more important than geographical location for my choice of fest attending. That
and ticket price.
More fests means more competition, which (hopefully) means better prices.

LEGO (doubtful, as those prices are not driven by competition generated by fests) or things like registration fees (again, really doubtful; I've seen no evidence that those fees are driven by a profit (...)
