There were no gatherings at the top of the 90s.
There are a dozen gatherings now.
Of the volume of gatherings, the greatest profusion is in the east. Of the number of attendees in other gatherings, again, the greatest profusion is in the east.
New York and Ontario have a LOT of people. I just attended an event in Albany this year.
Yes, I think NY could have more, OUTSIDE of Manhattan and the 5 boroughs. Albany will host again next year. It's worth the drive and the dime for a hotel room.
