Then all you wind up with is the domino effect- shows giving too much PC for the spot--too many joints booked in-- and high rent for the concessionaires. Your gem suddenly becomes a lump of coal.

How would you feel if it were your show that helped build up a spot only to see someone else come in and woo the committee with ridiculous numbers and puff them up and rip it out of your hands, kind of a "thanks but we want to take the festival/fair in a different direction...." from the committee after all the work you put into it....or someone come in with a flashier trailer than yours and the committee gets all googly-eyed and says "you can come back, but we're giving that guy your (great) location, we'll put you somewhere else on the lot"....just because some folks decided to give out info they didn't need too.
