[Coco] CoCoFest

[tim franklinlabs.com]

   I for one don't see the debate. Why move the fest? Why not have coco
   fests in other places as well as Chicago. Those who want it moved
   should organize fests in other places not force the move of an already
   established norm. I doubt you will get the turnout as high as the
   Chicago fest though. Moving is east then west would cause those on the
   opposite side not to come as it's too far and would cost a small
   fortune to travel across the country. Chicago is centralized enough
   that many actually drive to the fest. Like I said, I don't see the
   debate and wonder what the motivation is for the debate.

     Chicago is the CoCoFest now, and was the biggest even when Falsoft
     was
     running them. Good central location, I guess. There have been
     CoCoFests in
     other places. Atlanta for a number of years (I think by Falsoft then
     the
     local club for a few more years), Pennsylvania for 2-3. Chicago is
     the
     only one that has been sustained. Part of it is having a dedicated
     core
     group willing to put up the money and do the work. After that it's
     getting
     enough attendees to at least break even -- event halls and hotels
     can be
     expensive! Chicago is established enough that you know enough
     vendors and
     folks will show up.
