AK really hasn't been on an expansion tear so I don't think that there is a big risk there.

And how did the AK team get to their events before, it certainly wasn't driving or a boat. Fact is traveling to Seattle is much cheaper and is quicker too than their other options. Hotels around where we hold most of our events are also much cheaper than the CA events they have been attending. So 2 events for not much more than the one they had been attending. The current team obviously thought it was a good deal or they wouldn't have asked to come to the rainy PNW instead of continuing in the Regional system.
