It is my pleasure to announce that on the weekend of October 4,5 and 6 in
Seattle, Washington will be the Pacific Northwest's first Lego Convention!
NWBrickCon will be co-hosted by PNLTC, SMART, and SEALUG. The con is in the
Seattle Center's Center House at the foot of the Space Needle in Seattle, WA.
The con will be $10 for participants, and free for the public. Participants
get to go to classes, play Brickwars (tm), and be eligble for Lego prizes
and other goodies. Classes will include Ashley Glennon's microfig basic's
class, Wayne Hussey's History of the Brick, and Gus Jansson's Lego Geometry
class. Let's not forget the displays, approximately all 1500 sq ft of them,
including a eight foot tall Statue of Liberty and quite possibly the largest
monorail layout ever.
Registration will need to be done before the con. Information about
pre-registration and any other questions should be directed to me, Mark
Neumann at
snowleopard@foxinternet.net
Schedules and additional information will be coming here:

Information about the Seattle Center can be had here:

Hope to see you in October!

Quite possibly?
Mabie you should check with the Guiness World Records people and see if it
really is the largest ever recorded (mabie you can get it into the Guiness
book...)

heh. I think you'd better talk to Dan Parker about that. Seems a Few years
back PNLTC created the largest Lego train layout. Guiness was there. It
was a record but even now a few years later Guiness has yet to publish it.
I think we'll skip it.

Cool! I'll be there with bells and other noisemaking devices
attached. And I'll see if I can drag some other BayLUG/BayLTC folks
along too.

AMAZING BUT TRUE: There is so much sand in northern Africa that if it were
spread out it would completely cover the Sahara Desert!

Is there any interest in the Pirate Game for this event? Flush off the success
of the game at BrickFest, I'd love to organize a game for NWBrickCon (and I
know there's at least a couple Pirate fans around).

I think you could probably get some people to play. You should refer to the
original message and check with Mark Neumann. He'll be able to answer your
questions better (and he may not be following this thread right now)

Absolutely Frank,
Sorry this has taken me so long, I'm a little distracted these days...
Yes, e-mail me at snowleopard@foxinternet.net and I'll hook you up with the
folks doing the gaming!
