Personally, I love the PC. It is a darker site than my back yard, which lets me see more. That is all I want. Sydney's lights are a hindrance sometimes, but by no means are they a dealbreaker.
I have been to the PC on more than several occasions, but less than a whole lot of people. I wouldn't count myself as A-List, or even B-List for that matter.
Personally, I don't particularly care. I will talk to whomever wants to talk. If someone wants their space, then I am happy to leave hem to it also, with absolutely no hard feelings.
I think that most people who attend the PC are in pretty much the same mold. There is no superiority, no aggravation, no segregation and certainly no pigeon-holing of people.
I have also arrived to a locked gate and empty paddock. An hour's trip each way. Still, the drive is a nice one. Getting uptight about it won't change a thing. It's unfortunate, but hardly deliberate.
New folks have always been and are still encouraged to look through as many scopes as they can lock their eyes to. Personally, I think that this is one of the finest things about the PC gatherings. No pretence, and whole-hearted welcoming.
If that culture never changes, then surely it is a good thing.
EDIT: I had the opportunity to go to Bretti, as did everyone who can read. I chose instead to go to China.
