There's a difference between "technically feasible" and "a good idea."
Completely agreed.
You might have, for instance, a Masquerade director who runs 200-entry events at your local 10K-member anime con
And we also have Richard Hill, who ran the N4 masquerade, and Susan de Guardiola and Donna Dube, who have each run Costumecon masquerades, and Jill Eastlake, who just ran a 39-entry event at our local 2K+ member Ambitious Regional and who's about as plugged in to Worldcons as it gets. And that's just counting the folks in New England; Byron Connell and Carl and Elaine Mami and a host of others who've run Worldcon or Costumecon masquerades are also nearby enough to be regulars at Boston convention.
The point I am trying to make is that Deb had way more high quality local talent to include in her mix than Toronto did. Not to knock Barb Schofield who did a wonderful job, but she's not going to do it again and there aren't three other strong local possbilities there the way there are here.
