Hi JoeG,
This sounds like a great course of action. When I did BrickFest PDX the very
first step was I privately contacted Christina and discussed this with her. Then
I talked to all (I did acidentally missed one) the west coast clubs to make sure
they were all OK with the idea. You might recall we had two BricksWests in SoCal
(that had gone defunct) as well as NW BrickCon and I didn't want to step on any
toes. So to that end I think this is the type of community that if you go thru
the right channels and be gracious and considerate all will work easily and
you'll maximize your volunteers and sub community endorsments.
Good luck! and thanks for stepping up with the offer to the community. It is a
HUGE effort to do a BrickFest!

But I think I have some good ideas for a workable/good venue in Indianapolis. This would likely make it a bit less (...)
