seems to me that the 2 main reasons for low attendance at this year's
Zep fest were probably the date---a lot of high schools & colleges are
either in finals or graduating around Memorial Day; and the
location---although Toronto is undoubtedly a wonderful city, and
possibly of easier access to our Canadian Zeppers, it is a very
looooooooong trip for folks coming from the central, southern, and
western states in the US. OTOH, someplace like Cincy tends to be a more
central location for everybody in North America, and considering the
large number of teens on the list, i'd imagine that was a major
consideration in the decision on whether to go to Canada, or not.
personally, without a P & P concert tie-in, the idea of spending major
$$$ on round-trip airfair, or spending a couple of days driving each
way, simply wasn't worth the time, money, or shrugging-off of family
responsibilities that would've been involved in attending this
year..........and i doubt i'm the only one who felt that way. but
hey------if the timing & venue are more convenient next year, who knows?
no telling how many folks could be there. the fireclown
