This will likely sound astoundingly counter-intuitive, but you would probably be welcome at the annual Northeast Filk Convention, which rotates between the DC, NY, and Boston areas. There are plenty of us who enjoy traditional folk and Celtic music as well as filk, so the economics could actually work out, as long as the particular convention had space available. And unlike some of the festivals you alluded to, we're not very particular about what dealers choose to sell.

Heck, I could even probably tell you exactly what to have on hand, based on what *I've* bought from CAMSCO at Getaway and MiniFest.
