Marty, I agree that every works best for EDTCA, it is their event.  However, I think the Saturday performance is more that it is the third day of a three day show.  It would be much diferent if it was day two of a two day show.

Have to agree with that. (or at least confirm it wasn't as dead on Saturday when it was still just a 2 day show - I am not going to pretend I can predict what would happen if they switch back now.  Depending how the votes go and what action comes of them, maybe we will find out )

Back when it was only 2 days, you could not roll a bowling ball (maybe not even a golf ball!) down an aisle in a member hall at the Saturday opening without hitting anyone like you can some meets now.  Saturday morning was just as much of a herd of people, at least at the start.

Some of that change may be demographic evolution, but I think a lot was because there was more "rush" required when it was only 2 days.

It could actually be hard to see all the halls  (especially if you stopped to buy, maybe chat with a couple people, etc) just on Friday.  Saturday was more of a "hit all the things I missed" clean up day (IMO).  Now I think there is more leisure, and with that perhaps a bit of complacency.  Some of it is the specific separation of the Orange hall (some people apparently never leave it).  I am pretty sure there are still people who think there is nothing but rusted pre-war and post-war in the member halls.

I was never a table holder back then, but remember them well as a buyer.  Yes, people still packed up a little (maybe an hour or 2) early, but nothing like they do now on Saturday, probably because it is day #3.
