> they also did not expect 1.5M people last year. they also didn't *get* 1.5 million people. 1 million is a very generous estimate. But that's not really the point.
Think about it, do you actually think m_nus or any of the local clothing stores actually did enough business that they could pay $30,000 for a booth and still make a good profit? and you you really think pop culture media is the type of event promoter that'd jack their prices up to 10 times what they were last year? yeah, maybe it's possible. But I think it's a lot more likely that $30,000 was a typo.
