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 live in Sunnyvale, I think I can accurately state how bad of an idea it would be
to hold it here ;-)
Paul - if you need a ride or a share of a hotel room, ASK on the BayLUG list! I'm
sure you would have no problem securing a ride and room. I stayed alone in a room
last year, and would have no problem sharing a room to halve the costs (not that
Motel6 is THAT expensive, mind you ;-). I can't offer a ride, as my car only has 2
seats, and my car was packed tight for the trip, but I'm sure you could easily
coordinate a ride for BW'03 through the BayLUG list with enough notice.
As for the NW, they are working on a BrickCon.
