Joe would have to chime in here, but I *think* the "flashy A/V" is actually donated...

Am I right in thinking that Joe?

Also, those saying that the AZ Regional is "smaller" need to look at the registration numbers...both events were set at 51 this year (AZ had 2 no shows, I think LV had 1). They are both the same size registration wise, but LV is a much larger venue. Really curious now what AZ's 2nd regional venue size will be next year since it is at a university.

I am so hoping this doesn't come to pass as I love my mini-vacation in LV even though it is the most exhausting fun I've ever had being the FTAA
