Weren't they always saying it would be up for grabs when their contract ended? I don't think they ever said they would break the contract. -- nm - pmb Mar 26, 15:55 2
- They specifically said they wouldn't break the contract. -- nm - tobor.2 Mar 26, 16:35
- Right. -- nm - David Mar 26, 15:57
I guess they'll just have to shame the attendees into staying home -- nm - professor smartbrain Mar 26, 15:53

This is why these threats never work. They never actually go through with it. -- nm - spamlet Mar 26, 15:47 9
- It will work eventually -- nm - Bacon Mar 26, 15:55
- Read the letter. - David Mar 26, 15:53 6
  - I did. The "small business" angle is just a cover for the backdown. They never intended to actually leave. - spamlet Mar 26, 15:56 5
    - You must not have read to the end. -- nm - David Mar 26, 15:57 4
      - The "it's up for grabs six years from now" bit? Their business is always up for grabs at the end of a contract. -- nm - spamlet Mar 26, 15:59 3
        
        So you'd rather they break the contract immediately, and screw over businesses like Pete's? -- nm - tobor.2 Mar 26, 16:41
        
        It's been in Indy for 12 years. The odds of it going somewhere else just went from 10% to 90%. -- nm - David Mar 26, 16:13 1
        
        Yep. The attendee pool doesn't shrink if they move elsewhere, either. - TWuG Mar 26, 16:23
- yup -- nm - Beaker Mar 26, 15:50
