As I said it will not be that many people affected and really, how many Brick events can we all go to every year? :) Of course I would like to go to this one because I actually lived about ten minutes away from Tysons (...)

(...) Todd, I think the choice of dates is about as good as it could be. For me, summer is best (as I recall, fall starts sometime after labor day). The thought of driving 600 miles with my MOCs in Feb/Mar is not pleasant. I suspect the 10 hour trip (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.events)
