Okay, here's the scoop...

The La Crosse Train Show is March 18th and 19th.  The GMLTC will arrive Friday
afternoon (17th) to set up and will stay in a hotel attached to the Convention
Center Friday and Saturday nights.  We could fest on Friday night and hang around
the layout during the day or in a hotel room too.  Saturday night is a dinner for
the show exhibitors (to which all GMLUGers would be welcome I would imagine).
Any time in between would be fair game, although folks from the GMLTC would need
to man the layout during the day (not *all* at the same time, though).

It would be great to see an Illinois contingent as well as perhaps some
Michigonians...hint hint Mr Istok and Bliss, et al.  Heck, maybe we can take up
an offering and fly out Todd and Suz! (Todd being the Midwesterner at heart;)

Holy Cow!  We're gonna need Fest T-shirts, too!  I'm on that!

Probably only 4 to 5 hours to LaCrosse from Chicago, less if you are on
the West or North sides.  I'm 6 hours from the south suburbs of Chicago
and about 1.5 houts from LaCrosse.

Ok.  I'm on the west side, in the suburbs (Wheaton).  It takes me about 20
minutes to get to 355 and then I can shoot north from there.

Cost is probably about 5 bucks a person or so.

I am referring to travel costs more than Legofest costs.  When would this fest
be??

I think at this point, I can tentatively commit to showing up Friday night by 7pm and staying overnight and then leaving Saturday late. What time you guys showing up to setup the layout, maybe I could get out of work early. (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-00, to lugnet.org.us.gmlug)
