[TheForge] Budget thoughts.

[Saint Phlip]

OK, I asked what the budget is for Pennsic, just to give you guys some
ideas. I'm busily collecting information, to give you a more
coordinated and appropriate to ABANA set of numbers, but this is just
a bit that I have collected so far.

For 13,000 people, for two weeks, SCA (actually the local Kingdoms)
ponies up $280,000. That does not include the $90,000 that the site
owners pay for the portajohn (and that's for daily cleaning, for 2 1/2
weeks).

As I sort out more appropriate numbersa, I'll share them and put them
into perspective, but guys. looks to me like an ABANA Conference would
be a very good possibility, IF the Board realigns their sights.

Already thought up a name for the gig-

ABANA Light

"Hammer the Light Fantastic"

;-)

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.
