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 :-)

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
