Ken,
Thanks for your thoughts.

Great, I hope to see you there!

I agree on both points.

Nice! I think a community display like this depends a lot on what sort of
building people choose to bring. I don't want to be telling people specifically
what to build per se, but a display like this does need some coordination.
Having a larger "countryside" area would be great if there were things to fill
it with.

Good to know, thanks! I thought the Mars Temple was arguably one of the Seven
Marvels of BrickFest 2004, myself.

I suspect both vignette and Micro building will feature heavily this year. I'm
not sure yet whether there will be a Castle Room competition for Micro/vignette
building, or if there will be a sort of competition for all of BrickFest.

Great!

During the weekend itself it would mean spending a fair amount of time in the Castle Room but by no means would coordinator duties take up the whole weekend. I'd be happy to hear from anyone who is interested - both longtime members of the community and newbies too. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, do get in touch with me by email.

Please do - I really don't want to be carrying the Castle Room all by myself and
also I think it will be better if we have several people working on it with
different ideas, experience and POVs.

Hey thanks, hope to see you in August!
