OK. Would this be in lieu of the June gathering, or an
"official" date to combine with an "unofficial" or smaller
June gathering?
Regardless of which it is, new concerns come to the fore:
*Colleges may be in session as early as the last week of August
*High schools, ditto
For those of us who attend (or, in a couple of cases, teach)
this really affects the issue. For the K-12 crowd, it may be
affecting the 8 June date as well; I don't know how late you
go into the summer, but I remember a few 22 June last-days.
Oh, and aren't most companies' vacation-time calendars based
on the fiscal year...?

I was sad he couldn't come to the *last* BrickFest. But in any
case we need to start planning how we'll do it this time around--
if we can hit the ground running everything will be smoother.
I know that with the size of last year's BrickFest, we're liable
to start seeing timed events with signups...

I was wondering about this too.

Yes, totally, I'd love to come but I'm not expecting to be out of school
before June 22-ish (depending on snow days). If it were in late June, or
close to the Brickfest maybe, I'd be *thrilled* to come. I also have a good
friend in NJ, so that's a plus (and a potential place to crash).

Speaking of the event, are we still on or is it dead for June?

I think that a large event tied to a game party including Steve Jackson is
dead. I would still like to get together with 6-10 people for a weekend of
pirate gaming. I'll try to look for a space, but I don't know if and when I'll
find something good.

Ok, sounds good. Of course we can still invite Steve Jackson if he wants
to come on his own (hi Steve!):-)
