(...) 'A few hundred' would be on the lower end, I would estimate $200 max, more like $150 or so.

I would still guess it will be too much. At the Twin Cities Fest we had a bout twenty people which would bring you in at 8 to 10 bucks per person. The question is how many local folks are there in the Chicago area? Paul PS. You all could meet at my (...)

Re: Chicago Legofest —Larry Pieniazek

I'm interested but can't commmit to a date at this time, too far in advance. (anything more than 3 days seems too far, these days) Plan around me and if I can, I will.
