PSU: Mobilization Bravo

[Triggar]

We had bumped the cap for PSUMA from 30 people to 50 people. Only 30 people ended up paying by the cut-off date, so we had 30 attendees.

The people on the OF scoffed at the idea, as well as the price tag. They were not willing to spend any more than $20 for a convention. Good luck getting them to put something else together.

well, seeing as im in SD, i dont have to fly....so thats a + for my attending

[BizSAR]

Yeah, it's ludicris(sic) to think that something like PSU is providing would be much less than ~$200 NOT including airfare, lodging, etc. I've organized camping events of 50+ people (in a ski club I belong to, mainly) and that is even up to $50 a piece. Sheesh! What are these people expecting for $20, parking?!

I've also attended/volunteered for events like BeatleFest, sci-fi conventions, weekend concerts attracting 5-10 THOUSAND people and those were still in the $150-$200 range a piece simply for getting a pass into the event and maybe free hors de'vores(sic) Saturday night (a bust for that many people). Even the 500-750 person weekend music festivals I've been on an organizing committee for have been upwards of $100 for the event.

Sorry if I seemed down. I was really bummed I couldn't go to PSUMA, and I'm even more bummed at the prospect of not being able to go to one held on my side of the continent before it's even beyond the planning stages.

Indeed

You'll all have plenty of advance notice of when registration opens up. Be warned that you will have to pay at the time of registration, whatever the price ends up being.

But let me reiterate: Martyr and I have not even begun to think about Bravo. We're still recovering from Alpha, and so should you!

[Squeeky]

PSU:MB for the win
