Yes. Brickfest being over, you could have Lunch, or Dinner, or Snack, and so forth. I guess this Portland one is a second Brickfest. (23 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)

Steve, I want to say that I think what you've started rolling is very exciting! I'd love to be a part of it, but I have a work commitment that weekend so I won't be in attendance in 2004. That may be an ongoing problem, in fact, so I hope that with (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)
