Hi,
With NWBrickCon evidently happening in October, does anyone know the status of
the "other" West Coast event (whatever it may be called)? First of all, will
there be one? Second, is it moving? I know there were rumors it would be in San
Francisco, SoCal, Portland again, etc.? Sorry I tried searching LUGNET but I
couldn't find it - if this has already been discussed could someone point me to
the thread?
Thanks,
Darrell

I'm looking to compile a list of all the ISD build attempts.
The first timed build that I remember occurred at BricksWest in Feb. 2002.
Does anyone know who was on that team and how long it took them to build it?
For each attempt I am hoping to find the following info;
Name of event where the build occurred:
Time it took:
Names of people who participated:
Thanks in advance for your help.

I’ve been taking a lot of photos of LEGO people and their creations
over the past 18 months, and right after I got back from NWBrickCon 2003,
I thought it would be fun to see what all those photos looked like in
an ultra-fast chronological photo montage ripping by at 24 frames per
second. The result was a 9-minute “movie”:
- Small (120x120, 49.7 MB, MPEG video, 00:09:05)
- Medium (240x240, 145.2 MB, MPEG video, 00:09:05)
- Large (480x480, 410.7 MB, MPEG video, 00:09:05)
If you want to see the photos at a slower pace, load the large version
into Apple’s QuickTime player and use the right and left arrow keys to
go through the images. (Hope you have fast net connection. :-)
Somewhere in the middle of the montage are two time-lapse sequences taken
during the PNLTC show last April at the Oregon Convention Center. These
sequences can be viewed separately -- at high-quality wide-screen DVD
resolution -- in the following two files:
- Neverending Crowd (768x320, 66.7 MB, QuickTime video, 00:02:22)
Tens of thousands of people showed up to view the PNLTC layout. If it weren’t for free food and drinks from Starbucks, everyone in PNLTC would have passed out from exhaustion and dehydration (except Steve Barile, who was busy causing train wrecks). This is a 2,589-frame time-lapse sequence taken between 12:45pm and 4:21pm on Saturday, April 18, 2003. See if you can find Jon Rasmussen’s infamous “Teriyaki Shuffle” (hint: it’s in the first 10 seconds). - Teardown (768x432, 110.0 MB, QuickTime video, 00:01:31)
Teardown of everything took only 90 minutes. This is a 1,656-frame time-lapse sequence taken between 9:12pm and 11:30pm on Sunday, April 19, 2003. My favorite parts are the tables coming apart, the carts filling up, and the banner coming down. Incidentally, this video proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Jeremy Rear is indeed bionic.
People (and/or their creations) captured in the montage include
TJ Avery, Steve Barile, John Barnes, Mark Benz, Ross Benz, Jamie Berard,
Cris Berneburg, Dan Boger, Jennifer Boger, Lindsay Braun, Kai Broderson,
