What "powers that be"? Who might that be? Seems to me like there are some NW
people and some LA people, and we each want a 'fest to be local.

I think that could have been worded more politely. I haven't called your
opinion "crying." Let's try to remain civil, shall we?
Obviously, other people's travel times are not a concern for me. Just as my
travel times are not a concern for you.
My argument for a 'fest in the NW is no more selfish than your argument for
one in LA. We all want something local. That's not criminal.

No, because there are a whole lot of people in the NW who won't go to a
'fest in LA just because it's too far. And there are a whole lot of people
in LA who wouldn't be likely to show up at a 'fest in the NW because it's
too far for them as well. So two different 'fests makes sense to accomodate
the greatest number of people.
