Remember the mission statement of the BCPA:
Quality of Life!
The City has not provided event reports for any shows since.
Gee, I wonder why!
Maybe the 80% who don’t vote in local elections should next year, they probably won’t. Management should know by now what type of shows make money and which don’t. They don’t care.

The “CONSISTORY” USED to be a GREAT facility for banquets, meetings etc. They even had stamp shows there (Do they still have ANY kind of show?) these would ALL bring in rent money AND quality of life for people attending, but I see ABSOLUTELY no redeeming social value in 2 guys doing bad magic who can’t afford clothes!
As for breaking even, As long as the status quo is running the boat it’ll keep sinking..
