Hello all. I have been challenged to organize a LEGO convention in Northern
California. I wanted to send a post to gain some feedback on the idea.
Is it a good one?
Would you attend? Non-Californians?
Any thoughts?
The proposed date is sometime in 2010.
I look forward to hearing your comments.

| (...) Russell, This non-Californian would definitely be open to it, depending on dates. (So far, I figure you can knock July 10-18th out, as that's NMRA national in Milwaukee). I would figure locating a convention somewhat near a LEGO store is also (...) (16 years ago, 31-Jul-08, to lugnet.events)

| Hey Russell, I might come from Hawaii, tho for long-distance travelers I can see having it closer to LLCA would be a big draw. Having live in both the LA and Bay areas, I could see the benefits of having up north! Roy (16 years ago, 31-Jul-08, to lugnet.events)

| I think a Northern California LEGO fest would be fantastic. Provided that the event organizers seek out feedback on what has worked and not-worked at previous conventions, this could be great. I have found that first-time conventions tend to attract (...) (16 years ago, 1-Aug-08, to lugnet.events)
