As of now, it doesn't seem like there is a whole lot of interest in the
event. I know it would *really* help if I knew how many people we were
dealing with in GMLUG and especially how many live in Chicago. Chicago
maniacs are not notorious for coming out of the woodwork :)

Yeah, I'm sure I could work out something with the school to keep it
free. I see where you're coming from on the outside thing too.
What would be nice is to do something like this in a public location but
get something going similar to Mindfest where there are robotic models and
different exhibits. Make it a little bigger than just a Legofest, and
involve people who are interested in Lego but not necessarily involved
online. It would be a great way to promote the hobby. Though the idea is
there, where could something like this take place [in Chicagoland]? And
would there be enough interest for something like this to even work??
