NEWS: A master builder from LEGO Shows & Events group will be attending
BrickFest.
For those of you that attended last year we have planned a completely different
layout. I'll be putting the floor maps up as soon as they are finished. Last
year we did not use the second and third floors because they where being
renovated. This year we will have events on every floor. Unfortunately,
classes will still be in session. However, I'm sure everyone will be respectful
of this.
I've been sent a lot of great ideas for events and the BrickFest committee
members are going to have a hard time deciding what things go where.
Current Plan:
The giant brick play area will be on the third floor along with the huge
train/town layout.
The second floor will have the historical set display and some of the MOC's as
well as the meeting rooms for the different discussions. (We are currently
gathering a list of sets for this. If you plan to bring an old set, email me
so that I can make sure we don't have to many duplicates.)
Brick Wars can be held in what last year was the Castle room and Evil Steve's
Pirate game can be held in what was the brick room.
I'm really looking forward to meeting all the friendly and interesting people
that I have been getting email from.
And.. Really all this planning is fun :-)

I have a 590 Engine Co. 9, complete with box, instructions, and sticker
sheet with only one sticker used which I would like to bring. I also
have a 588 Police Station to bring. If we want to see how many Yellow
Castles we can collect in one place, I'd be happy to bring mine. I do
also have some classic space sets if there would be interest (primary
would be 924 and 6971). I can also bring old idea books and many of the
various books (8890, 250, 200, 8891, 6000, 226, 697, 260, The Gate of
the Present, The Ultimate LEGO Book, 50 Years of Play, The World of LEGO
Toys, Jim Spaceborn - The Unknown Galaxy). I can also bring old
catalogs, and old Mania magazines. Another item of interest would be
6086 with both a "Dungeon Master's Castle" and "Black Knight's Castle"
boxes.
For the Pirate room, I will bring as many of the ships as possible, and
perhaps some of the other sets. I will also display my Pirate comics.
For the train room, I will probably bring some 12V train stuff, and
possibly some 4.5V, plus of course my MOCs.
Of course I'm happy to defer any or all of this to others to make room
for more Pirate ships (if there are some folks who can definitely bring
some of the larger pirate ships, that would be really cool because then
I can concentrate on the smaller ships which will be mostly what we use
in the game). I'll be happy to coordinate display items for the Pirate
room (we will set up a table or two at the edge for displays), and of
course welcome any loaners for the game (if you will be building MOCs,
please contact me or look through the discussions from last year for
information on things like how many cannon to provide for).

Great, that room will be at least as much area as we had last year, and
will be lockable, yet still fairly central.

Sounds great.

Umm... am I crazy, or is the absence of a Castle room really staring at my
face? Tell me I'm wrong, please? :-( We really want to set up a whole
"campsite" and it's going to be extremely difficult without a room for
ourselves. I mean, I can understand if there is none... but it seems like
there are a lot more rooms this year, and we had a whole room last time!...
so it seems reasonable to assume that we would have one this year too?
Then again, assume makes a you-know-what out of "u" and "me"... I hope this
isn't the case!

<nod> Cool... I'm just makin sure we won't be stuck in the bathroom. ;-)
Can't wait to get there though! This summer's gonna be awesome.

no no... let me clarify. Discussion groups are on the second floor.. When
Castle World was first proposed it was a roundtable discussion. I understand
that it has evolved to much more than that:-) The room will be larger then last
year but only slightly..

Which should give us plenty of room since Brickwars won't have to be in
the same room.

Must be because castle isn't your cup of tea... VVVVBG :-)

OK, phew! :-) I was worried for a while there. ;-)
Good, I'm glad... we are going to need the space. We have at least 15 people
who are definitely interested and are going to be there. This is gonna *rock*!
> P.S. Silly, how could you think that I could forget CW?
I dunno! Just wondered. ;-)
