There is no better feeling than a packed house. Communities are forged by critical mass.
When organizing farm hack Iowa, we had 45 turn out the first day and thought it was a huge turnout (our 1hr radius population is ~250K)
I understand the concerns about venue, size, but to have an urban center as huge as Minneapolis...and then turn people away?
Not everyone who RSVPs will attend.
Allow for overflow, even if those satellite events are just coffee shop conversation of passionate people.
