I am interested in finding a non smoking male to room with for Brickfest. I probably would want to stay at the Hilton because I can get free breakfast there. Contact me if you're interested. Probably both Friday and Saturday. ++Lar (23 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

I just called the top hotel on the list, the Hilton Arlington & Towers, and got a weekend rate of $89 + tax per day. This sounds like a pretty darn good rate to me. Call soon while the discounted rate applies. Cary (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
