I did it with the pirate events I ran about 12 to 15 years ago.  There was
concern we wouldn't recoup expenses with such an event, so I fronted the
money.  We made about $150 profit on each event.

While I avoided the problem of people eating and not paying, I had some of
the same people ducking the site fee.

Outside of Rock Creek, I've never had a kitchen big enough to handle feeding
everyone who showed up.  Most of the Namron events have high attendence.  As
it happens, Rock Creek was the site where I lost four ovens inside of two
hours and nearly lost the feast.

Under the stars?  You mean you don't want them to see what they're eating?
