Cincy area may not have any other suitable venue for such an event, ie. a woodworking-related business or school. In Chicago, Lie-Nielsen for years has used the studio of Jeff Miller, but this year chose the Chicago School of Woodworking to host it's hand tool event. In a city of eight million people, I can't think of another place to stage it that would be accessible / affordable. Bars, we have; if that is the future. Maybe the bar venues will feature the bronze version of L-N tools. They don't rust.
