Hoping that the new blood running the forthcoming shows might have some fresh ideas, such as "Maybe we can actually pay a little bit for a venue instead of expecting one to be handed to us.". It would sure open up a lot of possibilities, wouldn't it? I understand that several venues wouldn't be ideal for one reason or another, but maybe, just maybe, there might be something out there that is affordable enough that it would freshen up this event and not cut too much into their profits. Variety is sorely needed. When is the last time this idea was even tried (paying for a site)? Certainly far prior to the COVID hobby boom.

(Maybe I am mistaken, but am fairly certain that "free venue" was always the former promoters' main point for the same, tiresome drudgery and the reasoning for not even considering to explore so many other avenues.)
