I’m not too concerned about that stuff, i just set it up where it’s safer because i can’t be 4 places at once… i never really get to relax and enjoy this meet anyways… last year i almost passed out from heat stroke in Vince’s 350z on the cruise… it was bananas.
The important part here is that people eat at the restaurant… if the numbers continue to decline then i will not be able to get the venue.
Josh and I can develop some pre-registration options but i have little faith that people will really make use of them.
Is the answer to force the event to get smaller but with a more committed group of people? perhaps…
I go to alot of industry functions for work, golf tournaments, charity events etc. and you’re expected to drop $40 - $60 buying raffle tickets, bidding on auction stuff etc… i don’t think we’re ready for that, but nothing happens for free… and again, going by the numbers this event just doesnt make sense to do for anyone involved… the plaques, and the time invested by others to make this happen is too much to be sustainable long term.
