It's like the outlandish prices hotels charge for Room Service food:  it's
not that it actually costs them that much, but that this is one of the
ways they make their money.  Stupid, yes, but it's something some trade
shows do.

The trick is not convincing them that it's easy to provide power, but
convincing them that TLUG is a special case and deserves an exemption from
the fees they impose on everyone else.
