Much later than that. I think I was among the first to do the
"one-fee-for-everyone"
thing. This started with Black Oak Keep for me. We felt that we charged a
decent
site fee and threw in feast as a hospitality gesture. You could eat or not.
This
was also a response to the spate we had a few years ago of people eating feast
but
not paying for it. This way everyone was covered.

I know it was done earlier but I have always done it this way.

> I've done feasts both ways and I much prefer seperate budgeting and fees.

For a budgeting standpoint I agree. And even for someone who limits their
feasts to a certain number. But I like to feed everyone who shows up. Although
events are getting so big that I will probably limit my feasts to only a few
hundred.
