Announcing BricksWest™ 2002 - The West Coast LEGO® Fan Event
October 14, 2001—Today the volunteer committee of organizers is proud to
officially announce BricksWest 2002, the West Coast LEGO fan event. Designed
for the Adult Fan Of LEGO (AFOL), families, and children of all ages,
BricksWest will be the premiere West Coast gathering for fans of the brick.
The event will take place in beautiful Carlsbad, California, home of the
LEGOLAND™ California theme park.
The innaugural BricksWest gathering will take place President's Day Weekend,
February 16 - 18, 2002. Situated one and a half months after the winter
holidays, two days after Valentines Day, and six months away from WAMALUG's
(http://www.wamalug.org) BrickFest™ (http://www.brickfest.com) on the East
Coast, this weekend should be perfect for our ultimate gathering of LEGO fans.
BricksWest is a fan-produced event officially sanctioned and sponsored by
the LEGO Group of companies.
Exclusive Venue & Events
The BricksWest organizers have secured The Grand Pacific Palisades Resort &
Hotel (http://www.grandpacificpalisades.com) as the official venue and
lodging of BricksWest 2002. This hotel is the closest hotel to LEGOLAND
California, and the nicest hotel in the Carlsbad area. By special
arrangement, BricksWest attendees will receive at least 25% off the normal
room rates during the event. Guests will want to join us in the hotel for
ease of attendance to games and conference sessions, early, late and
after-hours activities, and the breakout social gatherings which are bound
to occur.
Currently in the planning stages is an exclusive half-day excursion into
LEGOLAND, with full access to all rides, games and spectacular shopping,
followed by a semi-formal, fully catered dinner in MiniLand. Other possible
events being discussed include behind-the-scenes tours of the LEGO Model
Shop with a LEGO Model Designer, and the formal premiere screening of the
entries in the BricksWest Animation Festival and Competition in the LEGOLAND
Pavillion. (All events are subject to change)
Several very special guests are slated to attend BricksWest. See the
official event web site for details and further updates on our guest
attendees. (All special guests are subject to change)
