How do you figure?
A Seattle fest would attract people from Oregon, Washington, Canada, and
some of the other Northwestern states. Seattle is about 3.5 hours north of
Portland, and 2 hours south of Vancouver, BC.
It would take me 14 hours just to drive to San Francisco, to say nothing of
making it all the way to Carlsbad. So I would *have* to buy a plane ticket
just so I could have time to be at the 'fest, as would almost anyone else
who doesn't live in California.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to come to LLC again, but I just think your
above claim needs a bit of clarification. I don't think having LLC nearby
will guarantee you a large attendance, in fact, it might rob you of some
attendees who go to the park instead of attending the 'fest.
