(...) How do you figure? A Seattle fest would attract people from Oregon, Washington, Canada, and some of the other Northwestern states. Seattle is about 3.5 hours north of Portland, and 2 hours south of Vancouver, BC. It would take me 14 hours just (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

Sorry I sniped everything out, too much to go through. One thing we should definately consider for this event is flexibility. Here in Lugola we have long strived to be as considerate to the distances people have to travel. It may be best to have (...)
