A small contingent of folks expressed interest in moving BrickFest to
Indianapolis next year due to its several positive factors:
- It is closer to the many AFOLs who don't live on or near the east coast.
- It is cheaper to get a hotel room than in the Washington D.C. area
- More imporantly, it is cheaper than another centrally located city, Chicago.
- It has a large convention center, and BrickFest was already too big for the
Sheraton Premiere this year
I'm not speaking for anyone on the BrickFest staff -- I'd just like to know if
anyone else thinks BrickFest needs to stay in the D.C. area, if a cheaper place
to stay is helpful, if some other location is closer to where you live, etc.

| I'd love to see Brickfest move to a central location, but be careful before you decide to become a traveling show. Conventions like Origins in the gaming world have historically performed unpredictably from year to year depending on the venue, while (...) (18 years ago, 16-Sep-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
