As far as catering, we (the committee) have that covered. We feel that we're capable of producing a quality meal for the $10 per person we're going to be charging.

Perhaps you don't remember the lessons learned from BAM VIII.
When it was suggested that the price be more than $5 per person, there was an entire crowd that didn't want to pay, were insisting that there was no value (worth paying for) if they didn't eat the food, and evidently don't believe in contributing to the overall cost of putting on the event. I'm not really concerned about those (few) who have dietary restrictions and NEED to bring their own food...they're TYPICALLY not the "whinemakers", and are willing to pay to enjoy the event.
I'd bump some of the threads which I'm referring to if I had the time/interest in showing you what I'm talking about.
For the most part, I'm seeing a rather positive response, which will allow me to move forward in bringing a high-quality event to the Subaru community, with people willing to share the higher costs of producing said event.

but food should be separate from this and not mandatory. which is why i believe a catered food truck, or bbq truck is a good solution for this.

Well, if we go ahead with renting Treasure Island, we would NOT be charging a parking fee - that space would be included with the rental - hence the $2,000 rental fee.

Uh, that's not true all the time... When we rent the Stafford sites (or hamilton for that matter) we ALWAYS have to pay a gate fee on top of the rental fee (and don't forget insuring the event)

You'd be surprised how prices compare. Hell I could have catered my daughters first bday party for less than it cost me to cook and the food would have been better.
