Sounds great. But what’s the deal with the name change? Why does every
brick conference have to have a new name?
I don’t really care what name we used. For years, Brickfest was the standard
name for this event, but now I guess those are only going to be in Portland.
But sooner or later we’re going to run out of unique names for these events!
It seems to me like there is a lot of duplication of effort and unnecessary
competition for all these events. A little more cooperation between event
organizers, starting with a stop to this proliferation of event names, would
be nice.

Again, I must digress. The name of the event neither makes nor breaks it.
Although the last ‘BrickFest’ did occur in Portland, there has been no
announcement since, official or otherwise, as to when or where or even if
another BrickFest will occur. Sure, coordination among the coordinators (is
that NOT just a bit redundant?) is nice in theory, but if they don’t talk to
each other, there’s nothing stopping any one of them from going off and doing
his (her) own thing. Again, I welcome the proliferation of any and all fests, be
they Fest or Fair or World or Con or whatever. As far as I know, BrickFair is in
no way associated with BrickFest, nor does it aspire to be. It’s another
festival to pique the interest of the AFOL. It’s really up to the AFOLs to make
or break it.
