Re: East Coast Festival of some level



I'm always excited by this kind of brainstorming, but the venue thing is a big issue. Even if we could get a place in NYC, where would people stay? it's not like there are a lot of cheap motels within 1/2 mile (as in Santa Cruz).

Princeton (or any school that can be talked into providing a venue for free or cheap) sounds like a decent bet - small community, college audience might provide more attendees from the community than in some other areas, etc.) It's 1-1/4 hours from nyc by car. (plus, I could stay with my cousins in Philly and be closer than I am now, which is about 2 hours away)

There's some possibility that I could get the Warwick Community Center at a discount, in Warwick, NY, but I have my doubts as to whether our idyllic little community would be convenient enough to get to. I could put up a couple of people, but that's about it.

Mike has talked about wanting to do something in western PA, i believe, which i don't really think is tenable. But Philly might be a good bet - lots of hip people, but much, much lower-key and cheaper than ny. I could talk to my cousins there and see if they have any ideas about venues if there's more interest.
