$100 and a few hours drive would be worth it just to see.

I don't know for sure but it seems like a mostly east of the mississippi crew of attendees, with some of us westerners sprinkled in with the mix. Maybe a competing west cost event would actually benefit the community on both coasts?

I organized a West Coast event (WCNC) from 2006 - 2008. It was held in Las Vegas all 3 years, but the only people who showed up were from California and the Las Vegas area. We had deals on hotel rooms and our registration fees were only $25, but still, hardly anyone bothered to come except for a few regulars. I wanted to show the 3S community that the West Coast owners could gather in decent numbers, instead, I proved that most West Coast owners won't drive more than 100 miles to an event.
