I would like to suggest that we think about the entire country. I live in Utah
and have to fly to Brickfest. If would be great if the hosting city was either
a direct flight from most states or a major hub. IE - Dallas, Chicago,
Washington DC, Atlanta, St. Louis.
Utah to DC isn't a bad flight because you fly to Chicago, lay over 45 minutes
and fly to DC. Indiapolias is fly to Dallas or Chicage and lay over for 4
hours.

| Atlanta would make sense, as it has a local club, a local store, Six Flags for other family members, a hub airport, and many other things to do. I'm sure it has plenty of space for a convention somewhere, considering the above. (...) (18 years ago, 13-Sep-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
