I with you here... April-May hotel/airfare rates are high for spring break

rooms-o-plenty, always a good deal!

Funny you should say Oct-Dec for a Florida event, I was thinking the same thing
today at work...
I "may" have access to a free large 2-4 room venue in the Tampa Bay Area the
weekend of Nov 28-30, 2003 (Nov 27 thru Dec 5 max)
So here is ten thousand dollar question...
[[[[ Who would even think of coming to Florida for an event? ]]]]
I need some names and numbers before I spend time planning or setting up an
event. Maybe it's too late for an event in Florida this year, but Nov 2004 could
work? Who knows, LIC could have pic-a-brick by then:)
Also in a perfect world I see four US events a year with one of the four being
the main event for that year. The other three would be smaller, main event flag
would be past year to year to the other locations.
Let me know what you think?
