I'm with Serack and Audiobook fan!  The Virginia Beach area would be super fantastic, Richmond, VA area would be fabulous but I would totally drive to DC or Baltimore, MD.  Got a grandma I can mooch a room off of in Baltimore now.  And they have a Great two story B&N in the harbor (or at least they used to...been about 5 years since I was up there).

I bought a pair of killer dictionaries there, ones I still use to this day ten years later (ordinarily, I would've upgraded by now, but these were extra awesome).

I got to go to Inner Harbor when I was in DC for the National Young Leaders Conference back when I was 15.  We were let loose and what did I do?  Went to lunch at a seafood restaurant there and spent the other 2.5 hours in B&N.

That's pretty much what I did in my free time in DC. But I went to lunch at CheeseCake Factory instead of seafood. :-(

Nah. Killer dictionaries are the ones that if you throw them at someone, they're big enough to kill in one shot.

Is Williamsburg, VA close enough for some of the D.C. through NC people?

Yeah, I've been hoping that that would change as it gets closer to the date.  I think it's a fairly small convention, as far as those things go.

I'm thinking that even though it's a bit of a hike, we might now start planning on going.

I'm willing as well.  Unfortunately, I DON'T know the area quite so well, being 4 hours northwest, with traffic.

A friend and I are hoping to come down.  Maybe I'll see some of you there.
