Hi All,
Well we have an official BrickFest PDX hotel, the Red Lion. Details and photos
are on the BrickFest PDX web site (http://pdx.brickfest.com/hotels.php). The
Red Lion is located across the northeast corner from the Oregon Convention
Center, about a 3 minute walk (maybe a 1 min walk actually) from the OCC front
doors. It is also directly on the MAX (PDX light rail) train line; which comes
directly from the airport (less then $2.00). Newly remodeled, this is one of
the nicest hotels in the area, and includes a big lobby with online PC free to
guests (20 minute limit courtesy).
Special BrickFest Rate: $69/night (regular $110/night). I have heard that
others have found other hotel rates for slightly cheaper (~$5/night) but they
are either farther away or much lower quality (according to Steve Barile who
has personally been to all of them!). We aren’t getting any kick backs from
the hotel, I just think it would be a lot of fun to all be in the same place…
midnight lobby parties etc…

The Red Lion has just extended their $69
rate until 15 days prior to the event. So, make your reservations before the
29th.
As of right now 21 days till BrickFest PDX !!!!
I can’t wait. This is going to be a blast.

Don't know if anyone in here is in this area, but the Orem, Utah Wal-Mart
has one Republic Gunship and one UCS Yoda left as of last night. I picked
up the gunship a week ago there, and thought it was the only one--this other
one must have been stashed elsewhere.
Happy hunting!

Last night while in Dan's Food's in Layton, Utah, I picked up the Jungle
Surprise set 1271 for $3.69, Ninja Blaster 1099 for $2.79, and the White Ninja
1269 for $3.69. I had not seen these sets for sale in Utah before. I thought
I would share this info. in case any of you are interested. These sets were
in a nice, cardboard display stand provided by the LEGO Company.
