[MR] try a low cost event was Re: event fees

[Becky McEllistrem]

I think that's more realistic that the status quo and a great test for individual areas to see if my theory is correct.  Although I don't know that it has to be unofficial - just do a scaled down smaller low cost type of event once that has almost no cost and see what event attendance is like for that versus your regular events and publicize it as much as you publicize others or even more.  If event attendance is low I'm wrong.  If it's high I'm right.
