why did the Fest Committee do a survey several years back of what other cities the fans would like the Fest to go to? This was before the Vegas Fest I believe.
Was it?
I could swear it was after, or at least after the Vegas Fest had already been announced. At the time the survey was taken I seem to recall reading posts in topics about the survey on the various DS boards and attending chats in which some fans said how much they wanted the Fests to remain in only NY and LA because they were disappointed with the Vegas location in particular because they had no interest in gambling or Vegas-style shows. They feared other non-NY/non-LA locations would also be lacking in the extracurricular activities
they enjoy in NY and LA.
But, anyway, regardless of when the survey was, apparently ours is not to reason why we're surveyed about anything.
For example, what was the point of the most recent survey about whether we'd be interested in a new DS as a primetime or daytime series on cable or network TV? The point of these surveys would seem to be just to see where the fans' minds might be at, but then to do very little with that info. :-
