Thanks for your experience, Frank.

Looking at how things went, I think there will be room soon for a third
AFOL con. There are enough folks willing to travel (and with planning,
the cost is pretty low) that it would be nice to see more and more folks
have the opportunity to attend an annual AFOL con. My guess is the
Pacific Northwest is the next venue, though the Midwest is another
strong possibility.

Many national events are held in the Midwest because it's so cheap to organize
accomodations.  I'll be at a ten day event with >200 people in April in
Columbus and our rooms are $79 per night.  That beats the snot out of $150.

I'd love to see an event in Chicago or St. Louis.  Those locations are so
central (the geographic center of the US is ~50 miles SW of STL) that it's easy
for most people (in North America) to travel there.

But I guess the largest consideration is someone local to be the driving
force that makes it happen.
