Milady, I agree with you for the most part.  I don't mind paying
whatever it takes for my hobby, within reason.  But, $10-12 a head for a
feast?  Is it really that expensive where you are?  At the event I ran
this fall, the feastocrat was budgeted $5 a person and came in almost
20% UNDER budget.  And her feast was very, very well lauded.  I wouldn't
think that, even with fluctuating prices, I would have to budget more
than $6 or $7 tops anytime in the next few years.  Is the cost of living
really 100% higher in CA than in Pennsylvania?

Sorry if I seem argumentative - I don't mean to be - but that jumped out
at me...
