[MR] using the same site 2 was Re: Fall Coronation

nobody is forced to google the location of a wholesale club near the site.
if they cant handle doing so thats ok.  other folks will be able to and they
can offer to help.  it can be daunting i suppose but in the end its pretty
easy.  you swing by with your list, pick up your stuff, head to the site and
offload it.  ive done it hundreds of times as a professional caterer and
dozens of times doing feasts in the sca or at large social gatherings.  a
lot of folks do it every year at pennsic too.  i think the percentage of
folks that find it impossible to purchase foodstuffs at a location other
than their local store is pretty low.

however, not even trying will not solve the current problems.

logan

Forcing someone from up north to learn where that is or find a deputy that
knows discourages not encourages.
