That's a shame. It'll be a lot of fun. I too live in the SF bay
area, and was able to attend BW last year very cheaply. I carpooled
with another member of our club, and we stayed in a campground (which
was not without its share of hassles, but it was very cheap) instead
of at the (very expensive) hotel. It can be done...

I'd like to give Legoland a chance to do it right this year. If they
fail as badly as they did last year then I would definitely endorse a
change of venue. If it weren't for the presense of Legoland, I would
like to see it held in the Bay Area, which is about equidistant
between the southern california and PNW folks. If Legoland's support
for BW03 doesn't materialize then I will definitely support a Bay Area
event in '04.
