Do you think the idea of a Brick Fest/Con happening so that all seasons could
have an event to suit local Fans and potentials, plus the possiblitiy that a 5th

Eric & All -
I just want to clear up that BrickFest(tm) is a trademark of Brick Events, LLC.
They're keen on not seeing their trademark diluted, and rightfully so - since
they've put in an incredible amount of effort over the past four years to build
up BrickFest(tm) to what it is today. Please respect that.

From what I know, the license of the name BrickFest(tm) to the PDX event is a
one-time deal, and future uses of the trademark will need to be approved for
each event. The very fact that they even considered this licensing shows a lot
of trust built up in those involved with the PDX event.

Yes. Brickfest being over, you could have Lunch, or Dinner, or Snack, and so forth. I guess this Portland one is a second Brickfest. (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)

(...) Right on, that's cool. (...) See that! The guys in Florida Rock! I met people from Florida at Brick Fest, I say to you guys! Make it happen! Florida has many great things to offer.
