(...) OK I going to add fuel to the fire... (...) I with you here... April-May hotel/airfare rates are high for spring break Orlando area, but I bet Nov-Dec is not much better.

It's been voiced to me that there is some confusion on our venue this year. Because of responses from last year we have worked very hard to secure a space that is more "ours." We have rented a conference room. This means we have much more control (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.general)
