I hope you made it to LB Quilt Festival, 2011. I went this year & 2010 and it is fabulous. Incredible quilts and "other art" such as hiaku; photography. Vendors had beautiful fabrics. Tons of classes and top notch instructors. Next year I hope to sign up for a class. It is well worth the effort to attend festival. To get back to your question, have you tried hotwire or checked what Auto Club listings?
