Oops! You are right -- my bad. I thought it was set to Public, but it wasn't.
Does it load for you now?

Would love to see the pics as I missed the con again this year. Sadly the
privacy setting seems to not be set to "public".

BrickCon still has slots open for presentations. Please submit your proposals
as soon as possible.
Most BrickCon sessions default to "classroom"-type slots for of up to 50 minutes
in rooms that can accommodate up to forty people, but time, room configuration,
and space are flexible---just let us know. Computers with projectors are
available in all session rooms (please see more below).
Speakers are eligible for comped registration. See
http://brickcon.org/builders/about/request-for-presenters/?builder=true
For this to happen your proposal must be accepted prior to registering, so send
it in now.
Besides sessions, activities already planned are listed at
http://brickcon.org/builders/schedule/activities/?builder=true
but more are possible.
For preparation and scheduling reasons, all proposals must be received and
complete by September 7. This includes PowerPoint-type slides, which must be
transmitted to our A/V department by that date. Outside computers or
slides/pictures not previously sent to the A/V department will not be permitted.
Sooner is better!
Remember that this year pre-registration is open until September 18 so register
or submit a presentation proposal now! The hotel is already sold out!

BrickFair VA will be holding four separate contests for LEGO MINDSTORMS
enthusiasts this year. The long-running favorites Stock Sumo and Unlimited Sumo
will be held as usual, and the Capture the Flag contest is returning from last
year. There will also be a new contest for this year: the Pole Vault.
Pole Vault is a event that tests your robot's gymnastic ability. Contestants
must travel to a one foot high wall in the center of the table, jump or climb
over it, and reach the other side safely. This contest is recommended for KFOLs
and TFOLs, although FOLs of all ages are welcome to compete.
In Capture the Flag, two robots will face off from opposite sides of the table,
and the winner will be the first robot that can locate the flag, grab it, and
find its way back to home base. The flag is represented by an infrared
HiTechnic ball, and as an added complication, it starts out on a flag carrier
robot that is wandering randomly around the arena. This contest is recommended
for AFOLs, although FOLs of all ages are welcome to compete.
The official contest rules can be found at the following links:

Capture the Flag: http://www.brickfair.com/game/pop/Capture.pdf
Stock & Unlimited Sumo: http://www.brickfair.com/game/pop/SumoRules.pdf
BrickFair VA will be coming to the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, VA from July
30 to August 3, 2014. Public hours are on August 2nd and 3rd from 11:00 AM to
4:00 PM.
