   Q1. Would you attend a two day National Blockfest held on the second weekend June 2005 at a cost of $100 (plus accom and transport) in the following cities:
a) Brisbane?
b) Sydney?
c) Melbourne?

Yes

   Q2. a) Would you be prepared to put up $100 as ‘seed funding’ for such an event to a nominated individual, with the understanding that this $100 would not be returned to you, but that it might offset your $100 fee mentioned in Q1 if the event were held in:

Yes.

   This covers what it would take to get it moving (actually, Q4 doesn’t, it just provides something fun to think about).

With answers from those interested, we can calculate the possible cash float for Blockfest for each potential venue.

Of course, if no one answers Yes to Q3, it’s all academic...
