Or with the weather issues folks have brought up, would fall or spring be
better for PNW, leaving winter for SoCal/Central Coast? If two events evolve
out of this (likely, I think), I'd still want to spread them out by quarters
to 1) make it fair for those wanting to attend more than one event, 2) give
everyone some breathing room, 3) not take any excitement away from one or
another event...that's why I didn't even try to mention the obvious alure of
summer in SoCal...
That does bring up an idea though...
Between PNW, California and DC, we could try to hold ALL of the events at
the same time, with the same themes and materials...I suppose that COULD be
pretty cool, and almost everyone, no matter where they live, would have a
fair to middlin' chance of making a BrickFest at the same time. We could
even hold some remote group sessions (video conferencing anyone? I have
experience setting that up). We'd need to get in touch with Christina and
Stephen when they wrap up in DC to discuss something like this.

I'm not sure that matters, if it's just a central location for everyone to
get together.
I'm still looking for more LUGOLA folks to chime in here about their travel
preferences.
