I'm pretty sure that the price we paid was a discounted rate for brickfest.
Isn't that right?

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,

Personally, I hope that it does not move around.  I hope that WAMALUG maintains
enough interest to perpetuate the event annually.  If you want one up there,
then do it.  I'll come to it too :-)  DC is 4.5 hours, Boston is 5 hours.  I'm
flexible.

I hope that the success of this event will promote similar events in other
venues.  I was imagining that it would be neat if the next big event (whether
it's next summer in DC, or somewhere else) invited the other LUGs out and game
them dedicated space to set stuff up.
