I think a Piratefest would be awsome. I'm not sure if I could come up
with a venue though (my apartment certainly isn't big enough for a
game). I think someplace in the mid-Atlantic region would be best, which
would suggest D.C. as a good option.

Once Lindsay is back, GardenSLUG (Lindsay, Andy Lynch, and I all played last
summer, so we probably have significant concentrated interest) might be willing
to host it if you're willing to come a bit farther north.

How long was your drive to DC? NJ would probably be doable, though I'd
be inclined to do it on a long weekend.

I have a couple options in mind.  We have local game cons and Piratefest could
easily be tied into one of them.  (As a matter of fact, Steve Jackson is
sometimes a GOH at the larger of the two (but that's in the fall), so the
tie-in is quite natural.)  Also, and I'd have to talk to those involved, the
local game store that I patronize has a largish vacant slot in the strip mall
with it that they use for mini-cons a few times each year.  If we could make a
marginally profitable tie in (maybe sync with a mini-con, seek players from his
customer base, or bring AFOLs to his game shop) then he might hook up with the
mall management in order to make that space available.  The place in the mall
is really big (like a medium drugstore or a small grocer), so there would be no
real space restrictions.

The strip mall sounds interesting. Would there be time problems? That
sounds like an interesting location to do semi-public events (like the
way Baylug does their meetings at the library).

(...) 3.5 hours. (...) I don't follow. Actually, the only problem related to time (and I just thought of this) that I can see is that the mini-cons that happen there are typically Friday night straight through to Sunday afternoon with no locked up (...)
