Here in Nor Cal I notice much the same thing as Panache....the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer

Woodland is big, Pleasanton is big. They don't seem to be getting smaller despite the fact that both venues are incredibly HOT.

Livermore and Campbell were small-ish and getting smaller. It doesn't help that the weather was brutally hot to the point of dangerous for some folks, for Campbell. If Campbell doesn't get a bigger turnout and some more vendors the festival might be gone in a couple of years.

But then again, as Panache points out, the Ben Lomond Games are small, but the venue is so nice that I will come back again and again. I don't see them getting any smaller. So it's a mixed bag.
