At BrickFest D.C., several people had asked about getting the Event Kit Guidebook posted online. So I added it to my to-do list, and today started going through the PDF to see about transferring it to LEGO Fan. I quickly realized, however, that I (...)

Does anyone have a good generic name for an event involving LEGO bricks? Brickfest is obviously taken, as is Brickevent, and anything with the word "LEGO" in it is off limits as well. Would BrickCon work, or is that too close to NWBrickCon? A quick (...) (22 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.events)
