Nice haul....I doubt my mom would do that for me, go looking for Lego at
garage sales for me....I think they feel that I have too much Lego already...

Actually, currently only Calum and myself are registered and confirmed
participants, unless you chose to keep your name off the list (ie keep
yourself confidential as far as going). I am listed in the "guest" list,
and he is listed in the "presenters" list.
I would very much like to hear what others have to say on the overall
travel plan. If there are 6 or less going, we can squish into a room
together, if there are more than 6, then we'll probably have to get 2 rooms.
Also, we'll have to decide what stuff we are bringing, to make sure there
is enough "cargo" space.
Other notes to think about:
1) cost of registration (at least for now) is $35.
2) there may or may not be any registration at the door, so the last minute
stragglers might be out of luck
