    If this is half as good as '08 was, folks who are on the fence about coming should hop off now, as they will be in for a real treat! IMHO, of course.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I believe that's private at the moment as the details haven't been sorted.

    Is it safe to say that it'll be in Baltimore or somewhere close by, such that one could book a hotel thereabouts?

    Who's got the shortest drive. Mapquest says 12.5 miles door to door for me. I know Scott and Tony are closer, but I think I have the simplest route: left out of the driveway, right on to the main street in the neighborhood, left onto Belair Rd (not to be confused with Blair Rd), right onto Northern Parkway and a right into HQ. I may park on the street to take a turn out of the equation, I have the short term of a goldfish. Hey! Look, a castle!
