I look back to the good old days when there were only a few weekenders a year, they were attended by pretty much the entire MJ community so all my fave dancers would be there. Also, regular freestyles were likewise well attended as they were usually the only places to dance at weekends. Also, I was 10 years younger then!
Seriously, the "diluting" effect of having more, but more sparsely attended, weekenders has been one of the factors that put me off going. Why go to the expense and effort unless I am sure of getting a special experience? I think you need a critical mass of dancers to create that effect, at least 500, but probably in excess of 1000.
Events I've attended with less than the critical mass have usually been a bit of a damp squib, dance-wise..
