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 could be much longer, if it snows.
I had hoped to attend NWBrickCon this year, but it occurred two weeks
after a different event in Seattle (a robotic event), and I couldn't
see going to both. If the dates had been different, I would have
considered attending, but I guess not everyone consults with me about
my schedule... :)
I'm already looking forward to going back to DC next summer.
See you there.
Steve
