Cowboy Feng’s offers good food, excellent music, and, oh yes, refuge from the end of the world. Or rather, from the ends of several worlds.

I seem to recall seeing or hearing a conversation (con panel?) with Patrick Nielsen Hayden, in which someone questioned Tor's publication of stuff like Piers Anthony's Xanth novels. Patrick replied that they were tremendously commercially successful, and that the revenue permitted Tor to publish other books that were extremely well written but might not be commercial successes.

Something similar happened to Donald Wollheim the year he was GoH at WisCon--he was asked why he continued to publish the Gor novels, and he replied that they sold well enough that he had the money to publish Jo Clayton, CJ Cherryh, Doris Piserchia, et al.
