> I am all for live streaming. I watched it last year.  Our little coco community is already too small as it.  People have all sorts of reasons they can't attend the cocofest.  To make it some exclusive club thing for ppl with the time/money doesn't make sense in a small community like ours.  It's not like saying "nope. no streaming. you want to see the cool stuff, you better pay!" is gonna suddenly gonna give someone vacation time from work or the cash to travel.

Think of it this way: Glenside uses the fest and the auction as a means to make money so that they can put on another fest the following year.  People who attend "virtually" aren't paying the $15 fee that everyone who is attending in person has to pay, and that's part of Glenside's revenue stream.

I think live streaming is fine as long as those watching the stream are paying something to watch it while it is live.  Any less is freeloading, and not fair to those who have paid to attend in person.

That said, I don't think anyone is going to bother trying to monetize video streaming.

So you're coming this year?
