The public attendance factor is an interesting one. To me, it matters
not much.

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 money.  So what
do we do, we comprimise.  We try to give time for the fans, this year we have a
space that we can lock, but the public is coming, and they'll pay to get in.
What's this mean?  NWBrickcon04.
Is it easy?  No.  Are the fans willing to pay up for a specialty con in the NW.
I've heard a loud, resolute, "NO."  So, we comprimise.  We have to start small,
that's how most things start.  We'll get bigger, and better.  We've just got to
stick to it, organize a good event and with any luck, 03, will pay for your
"private zone" in 04.  Like I say, growth.
