Thanks, I thought that I remembered hearing a story about that before but I couldn't be sure, even if it were to be attempted again I forgot to take into consideration that you're probably going to have to go through all backups before the con even happens as the last one I believe had to use it's third venue for the actual con because the first one got called ahead of time to be told that it was a bunch of harassers or whatever bullshit they told them, so the venue cancelled, and I think the second choice wasn't big enough or had some fire code issues? Resulting in them having to use the third option, but because of that it made the bomb threat that later came much more difficult to deal with since there wasn't a venue willing to take them that would work.... But that's just if I'm remembering correctly.

This would complicate matters, as one would have to try to confirm at least with the primary venue in advance that even though the con will be called a bunch of harassers or such that won't be a problem for the venue, which would drastically limit options, backup venues might not necessarily need to be confirmed especially since they won't be mentioned in the public until they're already being used, but I imagine new conventions can already have some issues with venues, so trying to have multiple options (especially since the price-tag on booking more than one in advance could become a problem) would become all the more difficult....

Taking this into consideration I think that we're probably a year or two off from being able to have a non-established convention being able to go into this sorta market, need to pull the curtain behind on the 'GG' vs 'Anti-GG' market some more to be able to take better advantage of say groups that help people start up conventions or regular convention venues or whatnot to see where the money is and hopefully come to the conclusion that one isn't a group of evil terrorists out to kill our womynz and steal our children or whatever.

He addressed that. Book a second venue secretly and then move the convention when they make them.
