What makes an event a GREAT one?

while our shows not on the radar for" must do's", it has a great layed back vibe about it! and our lil town has a really neat patina to it.....but what i think we have the best of is the "everyones buddys" vibe! no ***holes, no thorphy *****s, and the like!
beer is a buck a cup [that helps to!}
only thing that ****s is the host hotel is 10 miles away.. however, theres soon to be a 60-80 unit hotel in, just an 8th mile from town!
and if it ever gets to big for wayland, we always have the fairgrounds 7 miles west where the old drag strip is still partially there!
we will always have the pre and post shows in wayland, its just to neat of a lil town...so my ramblings meant...
cheap food
cheap beer
neat location
and TONS OF FRIENDS!
