Yeah, it does, but last year the machine was empty by Saturday afternoon, thanks to all the Brickfestians running around. The pop machines were pretty cleaned out too. I suspect we'll have the same situation again this year, as there are as many, if (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

If I recall correctly, this machine ran out of change fairly quickly last year. Just an observation, as I remember having to hunt down change myself.

The GMU facility has a bill changer on the first floor next to the vending machines. It is primarily used for getting change for the on street parking meters.

Does anyone own or have access to a dollar bill changer? A $1 to 4 quarters would be fine. Last year, Coins seemed scarce due to parking meters.
