The arrangment we had was perfect. VA, CA, WA. I want the Upper East Coast to
have one too in time. Having one event in each season and corner of the US.

This would mean one fest in each of the Four Seasons. One fest at each of the
four corners of the US. Cool Idea I hope.

Eric,

What corner of the U.S. is VA in?

Hmm, looking at my trusty map, and considering the NE corner of the US
as Boston and the SE corner as Orlando (taking places that have known
centers of AFOLdom), then DC is closer to the NE corner. Let's see how
the quarters of the year stack out, assuming BW was to continue:

Jan-Mar: BricksWest, SW corner
Apr-Jun: available
Jul-Sep: BrickFest, NE corner
Oct-Dec: NW Brick Con, NW corner

Therefor, Orlando should organize a brick con in April, May, or June.
YUCK! A more ideal schedule would be:

Jan-Mar: SW corner (continue BricksWest)
Apr-Jun: NE corner (push BrickFest back into June where it started)
Jul-Sep: NW corner (pull NW Brick Con back into September)
Oct-Dec: SE corner (start a new brick con in Orlando)
