Gentlemen,

John is correct, there is plenty to do in the meantime.   There is an
organization in Chesapeake just off 64 called Brickheads.   Last year, they
had a team, you may want to check with them to see if you could bring in a
team for practice.  Norfolk Collegiate has a team and we are in the Wards
Corner area if you can travel that far.

Also, Karen Berger has tables set up at the Virginia Living Museum and she
is looking for teams to help out with the Lego Exhibit.   I believe she
would have the hydrodynamics table ready and out.
