| (...) How big is the smaller room? What is the access time frame (i.e. what time can we get in in the morning and how late can we stay at night)? DC probably works best all around as most of the East coast folks interested live within 5hrs drive. (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.events)

| (...) Carpetted floors are vastly preferred over other floor styles. It's much easier on the LEGO (remember, we're sliding ships around). 24 hour access or lockability is a must. (25 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.events)
