That's right. It's that time of year again. Brickfest is here, and I'm more excited than... well, you fill in the blank (I'm likely to use a very politically incorrect metaphor...) I hope that those who could physically be here for the fest watch (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

You are quite right, for some reason I was trying to simplify my directions by merging them with those already available. To say "right off" I-66 is a little stretch because of the spacing of the interchanges. But, yes, that is certainly an option. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

I'll give it a try. Maybe you can get on I-395 south at Massachusetts Ave and 3rd Street NW. Once on I-395 south follow it under the Mall and over the Potomac River to the exit as in the brickfest.com instructions for from points north. But I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

Brickfest officially begins -- and registration starts -- at 10am on Friday. The 10am-noon trip to the Lego Outlet on the Friday schedule is not an organized shopping run; more like a suggestion from the fest organizers. The "official" Brickfest (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

(...) I'm in the same boat, really... Looks like there's a "group trip"-ish thing starting at 10? At least the schedule says 10-noon to check out the Outlet... Actually, I'm guessing the store opens at 10AM. As for registration... ? DaveE (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
