The total cost for lodging for me was under $50 for all three nights. For NWBrickCon, my (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.events)

(...) We are going to have plenty of stuff going on that is non-public. All of Friday is being set aside for AFOL meet and greets, and general MOC showing and whatnot. I sincerely hope you would not stay home just because of public MOC displays. :^( (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.events)

(...) Yup. I keep waffling back and forth on whether or not I can go to NWBC, and the 'public display' part is one of the things that makes me less inclined to go. I really enjoy interacting with the public; my feet are always sore after a train (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.events)

In fact, lately, I can get it almost as often as I want just by convincing one other person to go over (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.events)

Public MOC displays refers to displays for public consumption. I wasn't really making the distinction between LUGNET/AFoLs and the "naive" public. "Public" refers to the difference between a display on a table for a bunch of people to look at versus (...) (22 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon)
