Sweet idea Shiri! I'm planning on attending Brickfest for the first time
this year and this "meeting of the minifigs" sounds like a great idea!

Oh, this is a gathering of the *wise*? Well, on second thought, maybe I
won't be attending Brickfest after all. j/k :-)

Wait, people taking over places, Vincent Gage must be a part of this! You
can count on me to be arriving with my main characters to discuss matters of
this fair land that is Castle World.

It sounds like lots of fun! It would be very cool with a large meeting hall
like Jeff and Pawel suggested. Some of us could work together in creating a
collaborative story that involves the "Gathering of the Wise." That way,
people could view what went on at the meeting in the form of a story,
instead of just reading a post and viewing some pictures. Just a thought.
