Dust, no one is trying to force anything; there's an ongoing discussion about the venue, and I'd like to note for the record that the finalists have a say in this, just as they do in discussing the rules, version, etc. Simply put, a lot has changed since 2003, and most people can't be lured in just by hanging out at a club. Expectations have increased; people want a cultural program, good conditions, and that's not necessarily a good or bad thing, it's just normal! (Not my words.) One more time, for the blind, deaf, and otherwise visually impaired: no one is trying to usurp Eric's right to host the final (we had enough of that last year). But if Eric continues to ignore the opinions of at least half of the participants, we're heading towards a repeat of that scenario, and it might actually be better to bring in some younger people and mix them with a few experienced veterans. If there's a problem with the club, I'm willing to help resolve it using my resources. Although, in my opinion, the problem is somewhat exaggerated, I'll do it just to ensure that everyone is happy.
