First and foremost, I am in total agreement that it's time for mini-Fests to be in other than NYC & CA.
I know through the years Florida has a large club.
I'm sure there are a lot of fans in MO, LA, VA, ME, et al.
If a go-fund-me could raise enough $$ to ask just 2 or 3 original, '90, WB Pilot, and someone from the 2012 movie to come, and, if we knew there'd be at least 100 people, I'm sure local hotels could give a decent rate.
It's time to get off the 2 large coastal areas, which are expensive for any reason.
Athens, GA, Freemont, ME, Branson, MO, etc.
