I think we'd better make an expedition down from Vancouver for this
event! Should we bring track? Buildings?

Believe it or not, I'm toying with the idea of driving up there from Los
Angeles. The timing of the event seems to coincide with the time I'll be
relatively close to Seattle. As the event gets closer, I will know for certain.
I'd love to mee up with some Seattle-based playmates ;-)

Kevin,
by all means, bring loads of track and structures -- we have the real estate!
Make it a road trip with as many other folks from Vancouver as you can bring.

Well, I have a 7-seater van which I'm willing to fill with people and
Lego. (Don't think we could fit 7 people PLUS Lego... there will have to
be a balance struck...). ANyway, if people from here want to share gas
and make a road trip of it, I'm OK with that. Would any PNLTC'ers be
willing to offer floor space to crash overnight? Personally I am
cash-short and not able to spring for a hotel room.

I'm working on having space available. I think a few other PNLTCers may have
room, too, though our first priority is the Portland members coming in. Wlyk
soon.

My husband and I can provide crash space for two unfriendly people, or
four or so friendly folks. More, if you are willing to sleep on the
floor (we have a very large living room and a moderately ok spare room,
one wimpy futon and one wimpier hide-a-bed, and about four sleeping bags).
The drive to Seattle Center isn't bad from our place.

offeing crash space. . . nah.)

Kevin,
We also have space for two. Email us for details.

Wayne & Terri, and Laura, and those who emailed me with offers of a
place to stay - thank you all very much. Right now we don't how many are
coming or when so I don't think we can make definite plans, but I will
get back to you nearer to the time (but with plenty of lead time!) to
arrange things. We have a VLC meeting on 16th June at which I'm sure
this will get discussed!
