A risky topic to discuss out loud: providers historically HATE when guys opine on this topic.

That being said, I understand the cost-of-living-in-Austin struggles. I cannot afford to hobby as often as I used to, both from rate increases and my own operating costs.

Thanks for not raising your rates. I appreciate your approach to the hobby: you’ve always seemed stable, knowledgeable, and dependable. I wish more providers had your level head and pride in your service, instead of pride/validation based on how high their rates can be.
