I'll agree with you that the "split up" was something I wasn't too thrilled
about either. Some of us in one area and the rest in another was a pain. I
was (note: past tense) of the opinion that the next BW be at LLC but now I
think it stinks. Just the fact LLC really doesn't have much room for a
large display except that tent thing isn't enough and off the park
accommodations choices are few. My own suggestion: the heck w/ LLC and do
the next con in So Cal in some place more friendly like Anaheim (more hotels
and if you want to get out of the con to do something else, there are the
Disney parks).
(My opinion is just that, mine, and does not necessarily represent SCLTC.)
