<tt>If you go to the Astricon web site and look at the links, you will
see that the show is produced by Pulvermedia.<br>
<br>
Digium bought Sokol who previously produced Astricon, but Digium is not
a show producer so they made some kind of deal with Pulvermedia to
produce the show. Producing a show is not simple and is rather
expensive. You would probably be surprised to know how much a show like
this costs to produce.<br>
The costs from first hand knowledge are more than the $150k that
someone calculated above as potential income. <br>
Not only that many of the participants get free passes, for numerous
reasons. <br>
<br>
A big chunk of income are the sponsorships, which is one of the reasons
to bring in a professional producer, they bring in the<br>
big sponsors.<br>
<br>
In any case I would assume that if Pulvermedia does go under (which I
hope not) Digium will find another company to partner with,<br>
though that may not save this years show.<br>
<br>
Just my 2 cents...<br>

<pre wrap="">I could be wrong, but Pulvermedia has NOTHING to do with Astricon.
Digium runs the show.
Thanks,

Who cares what is going on? Von was a niche in th late 90s early

Um, Pulver Media owns Astricon, now, no?
I suspect we all might have an
interest...
