That is of course valid, but I don't want to downplay the good time people seem to have attending these events that people legitimately put a lot of time and effort into! I too have lately had a lot of fun hanging around performing bards in town, it's even inspired me to try it myself, and yet that's also what's making me side-eye venues and events, as I slooowly embrace the fact that there's a whole world (many of them even) of hopping places out there!
