It's a good idea, but we're going to try and get into the main
ballroom on the second floor of the hotel for next year.  I've
spoken with Lisa and she'll begin the paperwork.  Therefore,
we'll probably not have the same room we were in this year.

Another way to approach it would be to set up a notebook LAN
and an FTJava server to run the event.	FTJava has the ability
to run Fog-of-War with limited sensor range and intelligence.
