I'm happy with the Sunday beanfest, so no need to change anything based on my opinion, but I thought I'd post my point of view as there may be others in the same situation.

I'm on the west coast, which means the current Wednesday beanfest is at 2:00pm, while I'm at work. Moving it to 4:00pm (6:00 central) won't help that much, because the majority of working people aren't home by then. It would have to be 5:00 or 6:00 (which means 7:00 or 8:00 central) for many west coasters to make it.

However, I know the whole idea of staggering the times between Sunday and Wednesday is to allow for people with different schedules to still have one to go to. Changing it as I suggested would pretty much eliminate that staggering. I think it would increase the attendance at the Wednesday beanfests, but it may mean some people can't attend either, and that would be a bad thing.

One thought might be to switch the two. Move the Sunday one earlier and the Wednesday one later. That way there would still be an early one and a late one, and more west coast players would be able to attend both (or either).

Like I said at the beginning though, I'm happy with the Sunday one as it is, and for me, one a week is enough.
