His labor and personal expenses, mileage, trip costs, etc were not (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Peronally I'd be a lot happier paying more for a fest that's expensive because of expenses than (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

This is in addition to the $3,000 that went to AMH Productions for use of the BrickFest name, as determined by an agreement that was signed in (...)

If you are volunteering then you have to attend and it is thus an expense. In the event of a loss then I imagine (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Not sure I agree there either - speaking as an organiser of Brickvention, all the organisers, helpers, presenters, etc paid registration, it meant the difference between a small loss and a large loss.

Well, I'd rather see them all pay the fee beforehand, then be compensated (fee returned, nice lunch, whatever) after there's an indication how good the finances are (which is usually fairly apparent by the end of the public expo).
