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... J
