I don't see these numbers as meaning the same thing as you do. If people are thinking of quarterly events as regional, then it makes perfect sense that many people would attend their regional event and not others out of region (which is what a lot of people in the thread have been saying) although some people would enjoy travelling around to multiple events. It's my understanding that this is the same pattern as attendance at Brickfest itself - the majority of people were from the East Coast region, with a strong showing of travellers from other areas (and internationally).
