Now it is reverese. Assuming Capclave ever went back to serving booze as
part of the convention, we would be better off in Virginia, because all we
have to is get an ABC liscense. In Maryland, no liscense is required, but
the hotel have to serve the booze. Hence, it's far cheaper in Virginia than
it would be in Maryland. However, I suspect it would be better that any
booze be served out of a "private" party instead through the convention.
