I take a different outlook. I always insist on paying site and feast fee
even though I know I am not 'attending' the event when I am head cook. My
philosophy is that -everyone- should pay, and if I, the cook, am paying
for the privilege of working my butt off, then what excuse can others make
for -not- paying.
I see it as a matter of if you open the door just a crack, you'll soon
have it wide open and hordes of non-paying attendees rushing in. I'd
rather keep the door closed, and am willing to put up the money to back
that philosophy.
