(...) That's a valid point, to a certain extent.

(...) I'm glad you brought this up. If we want cons to live we need the public. Let that sink in for a sec. For as diverse a group as we have here in the NW, it cannot support a regional convention by its fans alone. Won't happen. People balk at the (...)

(...) Sure. Actually, this points out a common feature of roving conventions. There are usually bids to host, and a committee and/or process to select bids (WorldCon bids are voted on by the attendees). This process that allows evaluation of bids (...)
