That's funny. We could start holding conventions and implement
incentives to recruit new hosts. Each host could mentor new hosts
(taking their percentage of the night off the top of course). Of course,
dues would have to be paid to the "organization" as well. There could be
games and stuff too! "And when you hear your artist 'burp', you know
he's sealing in the freshness!" :)
