I haven't seen this mentioned in this thread, but I think it's an important
issue -
I did not attend BricksWest last year - mainly because it was held in
southern CA. I live in the SF Bay area, and traveling down there would have
required a considerable investment in time and $$. For the same reasons, I
won't attend BF'03 if it's held in the same place.
I know it makes a lot of sense to hold it down there - that's where the park
is, there's a healthy population of AFOL's there, and that's where the
organizers live (I think). Still, those of us who live in other areas might
like to see it move closer to us. Are other locations (the Bay area or the
Northwest, for example) even being considered?

| The SF Bay Area is a ROTTEN place to consider having it, and I'm sure other people in BayLUG would agree. It would be vastly more expensive than holding it at LLC, especially since they are looking at hosting it IN the park fulltime this time. I (...)
