I'm pleased to announce that the dates for BrickFest™ are August 8-10th, 2003!
We will be updating the website (http://www.brickfest.com) soon with
information about this year's event and we plan on opening registration in
April.
Last year was a blast and we intend to provide another wonderful experience.
Each year is different and it is a success because of the participants and
presenters.
Once again we will provide an opportunity for individuals and groups to
display, present, and demonstrate what they do with that nifty ABS. We plan to
expand on the Brick Bazaar idea from last year, as well as find better ways to
utilize the GMU space.
After last year's event we sent participants a BrickFest survey. We reviewed
the suggestions and feel confident that this event will be everything you asked
for. I am so excited about all the events and things we are working on for
this year.
Although registration is not yet open, start to plan and building what you will
bring this year.

Event Coordinator

Oh it wasn't me. Karaoke was Matt's idea. ....and you should target Dan
Jassim and Scott Costello if you really want to put a stop to it.

I'm with Chris on this, "no Karaoke" will make it a better event. Dan Jassim
rocked, man(1), but on balance (*cough* John Neal *cough) we're better off
without it, thanks
1 - or was that "rocket man"?

Though my comment above was a joke, I don't understand how the event would
be better without it, or worse with it (by implication). I don't think it
fits the format of BrickFest as it's been put on the past three years, but
if there were to be a dinner like BW had at BF, it would be appropriate and
fun for many.
From my recollection lot of people enjoyed Karaoke and thought it was a huge
hit for BricksWest. I hope we do it again.

Hey! I resemble that comment! Actually, I was looking forward to bringing my
own copy of the Quad City DJ's "C"Mon'N Ride it" to sing;-) I will admit,
however, that I haven't quite mastered DJ's method of attaining the high
notes.[1]
JOHN
[1] you had to be there;-)

Woo-hoo!!! And my pre-scheduled vacation just happens to fall around that
same weekend! I guess I may have to reconsider that trip to the West
Coast(which I wasn't sure if I could afford anyway) and start thinking of
ways to fit more MOCs into my little sports car. <grin>
I'm so excited. I have never been to a BrickFest type event. In fact,
although I never had an ABS Dark Age, I did have an Internet Dark Age right
about the time that Lugnet was forming, so I didn't even know about these
Fests until last year. ...So, I am a BrickFest Virgin. Go easy on me. :)
Looking forward to more info, Moonbases, Marketplaces, and general ABS
mayhem. ...Uh, Karaoke? Well, I can't sing without "Redbeard & Cola", and
in that case I doubt you want me to. ;-D
Hoping to finally meet some of you in person,
-Hendo

B-Fest is out of the quesion for me, but would there be any volunteers (or
interest for that matter) to run a gathering of the first group Medieval
Marketplace layout? It would be very neat to see!

Looking forward to it,

Aaaah! The link doesn't work. I even tried multiple browsers. It just says,
"unable to locate the server brickfest.com".

OK, it seems to be working just fine now (11 AM, Wednesday). I may have just
had bad luck last night and tried to access the site during 5 minutes of
downtime or something.
