IIRC, the traditional problem with venues in Virginia was Virginia's
liquor laws.  Disclave traditionally served beer in the con suite;
Virginia's laws made this more than a bit dicey.  I believe that
Disclave was one of the last cons serving alcohol in the con suite, as a
matter of fact (corrections are, I'm sure, forthcoming :-).

As Caplclave has no intention of serving booze (to the best of my
knowledge), having the con in Virginia shouldn't be a problem.

The main thing we need is a regular date and a regular hotel.
