Hey everybody - are there any plans for Brickfest 2001 yet? I really want to
make it this year and I would like to know soon when it is to plan my trip. My
best friend and I want to make a road trip out of it from Chicago before he
leaves for the Army in July. I'm off school mid-May, and early June sounds good
for me like before :)
PLEASE get this event planned soon, there are lots of people who want to attend
given the success of it last year. It was a lot of fun then, and I'm looking
forward to a bigger and better event.
If you want help planning, I can volunteer after the end of Feb, because of my
schedule.
-Tim

I'm sure that as soon as they have something worked out for Brickfest they
will let us all know. Hopefully that will be one of the main topics during
their upcoming meeting.

They (Rich -- THEY??? aren't you in WAMALUG?) should be working on it pretty
soon if they want to have a successful event. (I guess I'll switch to
'you,' I am in the WAMALUG group) :) The success of last year has made MANY
more people want to come, I wouldn't be surprised if we doubled turnout this
year. So, you (WAMALUG) should get stuff underway and a date picked soon.
I already volunteered to help after a little while I can put in time to
organize it, maybe even throw some LDraw stuff together for the fest. I
just want to know when it is so I can plan my trip out, and I'm sure others
feel the same!

And as with last year, I'm game for running Evil Stevies Pirate Game. I
will be shortly getting into building mode, and reviewing the rules and
proposing some rule changes.

OK--I'm glad this topic is coming up. I don't know what sort of
dates are under consideration, but my Spring is now officially "full".
(The perils of doing research in Britain--appointments 4 months ahead
of time, all of that.) So if a date after, say, 22 May is under
consideration, I could and would make it, complete with pirate ships
(and, at that late a date, probably also with _Queen_ in tow). I'd
love to be there, but unfortunately I'm not very flexible anymore.
And this time it has nothing to do with the NLSO! :S
Frank--what about that idea you had to run some kind of Pirate Game
outside Brickfest? (In particular, a weekender sort of thing, maybe
a "PirateFest"?) If BrickFest will be soon (like April), maybe some-
time over the summer might something like that be possible? (Whoa,
really convoluted English alert!)
best,

...I still hope BrikFest is held in early-mid June like last year - that's an
almost perfect window for me. I'll find dates I'm *not* available though, which

Ditto. Early/Mid-June would be ideal for me, and Chris says (he can't post
just right now) that he probably couldn't come unless it was then.

I'd love to go. Just about any time would be keen for me, but I'd need
about 6-8 weeks advance notice to get the time off work.

I think a Piratefest would be awsome. I'm not sure if I could come up
with a venue though (my apartment certainly isn't big enough for a
game). I think someplace in the mid-Atlantic region would be best, which
would suggest D.C. as a good option.
I could investigate a couple possible venues. One would be my
fellowship, of course that would require my "coming out" (which I'm not
sure why I'm worried about, but then I just seem to have these worries,
but then I started playing D&D before it was cool, so I think that has
colored my willingness to be open about my weird hobbies). Another
possibility would be the retreat center I have done conferences at, but
that would not be in a major metropolitan area, and would be
uncomfortable during the summer (no AC, no heat either). The advantage
of the retreat center would be that lodging would be on the premises. I
have no university connections to try things like that.

Once Lindsay is back, GardenSLUG (Lindsay, Andy Lynch, and I all played last
summer, so we probably have significant concentrated interest) might be willing
to host it if you're willing to come a bit farther north.
I have a couple options in mind. We have local game cons and Piratefest could
easily be tied into one of them. (As a matter of fact, Steve Jackson is
sometimes a GOH at the larger of the two (but that's in the fall), so the
tie-in is quite natural.) Also, and I'd have to talk to those involved, the
local game store that I patronize has a largish vacant slot in the strip mall
with it that they use for mini-cons a few times each year. If we could make a
marginally profitable tie in (maybe sync with a mini-con, seek players from his
customer base, or bring AFOLs to his game shop) then he might hook up with the
mall management in order to make that space available. The place in the mall
is really big (like a medium drugstore or a small grocer), so there would be no
real space restrictions.

How long was your drive to DC? NJ would probably be doable, though I'd
be inclined to do it on a long weekend.

The strip mall sounds interesting. Would there be time problems? That
sounds like an interesting location to do semi-public events (like the
way Baylug does their meetings at the library).

3.5 hours.

I don't follow. Actually, the only problem related to time (and I just thought
of this) that I can see is that the mini-cons that happen there are typically
Friday night straight through to Sunday afternoon with no locked up times.
That means we'd need to arrange guards for our LEGO. What time issues did you
have in mind?
Now that I'm thinking about this, a gaming buddy of mine will be interested in
playing too. In fact, he might come ot DC for a pirate game. He had no real
interest in LEGO, but he's been eyeing pirate sets on the net since I started
talking about it last summer.
> That

I'll talk to Rob (the store owner) and see what he thinks and what about tying
it into something else. Does anyone have any idea what it costs to get Evil
Stevie out for a game? I'd guess that if he has the weekend free, all we have
to do is fly him out and put him up. I guess that means that something like a
real con would have to be happening to make it worth it.
I'm all excited. :-)

Would the place be available 24 hrs. Sounds like a yes. I would guess
that if we didn't want to stay there 24hrs we could arrange to lock up.

If the main focus was Pirate Con, and we didn't need Steve to bring his
ships (though if he wanted to bring some that would be cool also), I
wouldn't be too surprised if he'd trim the cost quite a bit. Of course
if he made an appearance at the hobby store, the store owner might be
willing to contribute some to any cost of bringing Steve out. We could
also charge a nominal fee. Since we'd be talking a pretty long game,
even with Steve there, I'd be happy to continue to GM (if we play that
long a time, the GMs are going to want to swap out to go vegg out for a
while).

Or get food, or sleep (gasp)...
I'm definitely game, with or without Evil Stevie. (Of course I'd
gather that he's probably reading these messages, so maybe we'll
hear from him at some point, hopefully in the affirmative! :) )
GMing, or bringing ships, or what have you--or do you anticipate
one person bringing all ships again, with islands being a community
project? I finally have proper island baseplates, so I'm happy
about that prospect. It would however be loads of fun to have my
own ship, and I do now have enough material to make at least 12
size-2 or above ships not to mention a whole honkin' mess of cutters
(no small thanks to the White Pine Forest that is John Kanehl).
Just keep me posted. Anytime after 1 June would be magnificent,
anywhere DC or north. Oh, and I snagged loads of Technic 8000/
8001/8002 and the big Race Rally set with the brown half-cylinders,
so I can make mortars galore should we choose to implement that mod.

Well, there's probably food in the strip mall... Sleep, who needs that?

It would be great for folks to bring ships. If we wanted to do a battle
game, we could probably muster a HUGE fleet... Islands of course will
also be highly welcome. With more people bringing ships, it should be
quite feasible for me to bring enough in my Saturn wagon (which
definitely won't hold as much as the Isuzu Trooper I rented for
Brickfest 2000).

Hmm, brown mortars??? I suspect we won't need too many mortars. I plan
on building some myself (still have yours sitting here...).

Maybe not. But if someone else would take the midnight-0400 shift, I'd take
the 0400-0900 or whenever we were going to start. I do early mornings much
better than late nights.

That's what I've been discussing with him. He seems open to it.

Yeah. I've been trying to work out how to subsidize Steve's participation.

I wouldn't want to do the midnight to 4:00 shift, but I'm sure someone
would volunteer.

Ooh! GardenSLUG's in NJ, right? That'd be cool... maybe I could combine that

Hi there. I would like to come down to Brickfest if it's in mid-June. Jun
9-10 would be ok but I'll have just got back from Hawaii.

I was thinking of attending as well, so I'd love to know when it'll be.
Also, are there anything little things that non-wamalugians like me can do
to maybe help out?
