SA's not really 'eating volunteers', there is definitely $$ switching hands. There should be $$ switching hands too, and the classes and manufacturers and whoever else with a vested interest in the event should want to pony-up I think. It's definitely not easy to live feed with a skeleton crew, there should be at least 4 dudes helping out, but that's not often practical.

Wait until you see our next OTWA West production for example. The learning curve was steep, but we have it dialed now...technology-wise at least. Commentary's still gonna suck.

Even just blogging in conjunction with a ton of pics in a thread at regular intervals is better than nothing, and it's cheap and anyone can do it. It just means that someone's going to have to lay off the rum a bit. It's like having designated driver.
