Intriguing.  It doesn't matter whether it's $50 or $70; we still need
around 100 people for things to get interesting.  But the more people, the
more auction participants, where any "real" money will be made.  So
keeping the reg low IS a good thing in my opinion.  But make the banquet 
reflect the actual cost + a little like Scott suggests.

For the record, I don't support the Bonus Bucks idea at all.  Sorry guys.  
I don't see the gain.  It doesn't help for the "cheap track" of the guy 
who doesn't want to pay a lot, and it doesn't help the convention, other 
than possibly encouraging people to gamble in the auction.
