And a few of us in Florida have consider throwing a smaller scale event,
called SpringBrick.

It was a hypothetical LEGO convention name suggested by Robin Werner:
SpringBrick 2003 (spring?) -
Central Florida Area, USA
This name came up in a GFLUG/GFLTC meeting earlier this year. The club threw
out a few ideas that we thought about working into an different type of LEGO
event model. I’ve sorta been sitting on a proposal for an AFOL “Builder’s
Challenge” type of event for a few months now; been meaning to run it by the
Orlando LIC to see if they’d offer any support to it. Here’s some of the ideas
behind it:
• A central Florida AFOL event that would be held sometime in
February/March/April, or a ‘cheaper’ time of the year than normal spring break.
• A good number of AFOLs vacation in central Florida for spring break already,
an informal event could be created for LEGO fans, where the AFOL could split her
or his time between a LEGO-centric event & their family.
• The best way to understand the idea behind “SpringBrick” is to think of a LEGO
building event crossed with a reality TV cooking challenge for LEGO fans -- this
is at the core of the event.
If anyone is interested in the idea, let me know and I’ll post more... but I
don’t want to give all of it away just yet. I still think it would be a pretty
cool event to try to host; I don’t want to give away too many of the surprises
if we could make it happen. :)

| (...) Headlight Brick Battle! Who gets to be (URL) Chairman Kaga>? That's a very interesting idea, and a clever way to avoid hauling MOCs across the country. I hope to hear more about it in the future. Marc Nelson Jr. (17 years ago, 18-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)
