Did anyone look into a "group rate" for rooms at hotels?  Sometimes you
can get a fairly significant discount that way.

What were the final Brickfest attendance figures, anyone know?

And a further Brickfest question...is it going to be a yearly event in VA?
Or is it going to be a yearly event that moves around the US, hosted by a
diferent LUG each year?  It would be kind of cool to have it up here in
the New England area, maybe TCS would help out.  (On the chat we bandied
about the idea of Brickfests East, Central, and West, all connected via
internet.)

As my friends who organize sci-fi & anime cons tell me, it's never too
early to start planning for next year...
