Ok, I understand more now. What are the dates and times for this again?? > The idea of a fest is a good one, but should be kept separate. Chicago > has the advantage of centrality. (it's certainly close for me) And really close for me :) If people would like to start talking about what they would like to do at this fest - it will help on knowing what kind of location we will need. I'll try to talk to my principal on the use of the atrium at school. The atrium is a semi-circle vaulted ceiling room with storefront windows overlooking the gym down the hill and the athletic fields. It has some very nice brand new wood furniture on it and plenty of carpet space for train layouts. If we can get it on a Friday or Saturday night, it would be great! The school is Wheaton Academy, a small private school of about 450 students, in West Chicago, IL - about 15 minutes west of Wheaton. I'd love to do the fest there, but if someone else from Chicago has other ideas, please share! > PS, ValleyFair! was great.
