  Re: The proliferation of fests: Good or bad?
 
(...) Well, keep in mind some people have only emerged from their Dark Ages recently as well as living quite a distance away and having spouses and family responsibilities before jetting off to LLC. :) As a family man I would be interested in a such (...)

  Sydney Fan of Lego Rumpus
 
Hi all ! The sydney bunch have been very busy of late concentrating on trains and christmas, that we may have neglected some of our other themes of interest. I would like to invite the Sydney ensemble to a conglomeration at my place on the 20th of (...) (18 years ago, 14-Dec-06, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.events)
 
  Re: The proliferation of fests: Good or bad?
 
(...) Brian- I agree that fest prices cannot be much of issue affecting national, if not regional, attendance. If you spend $1.5K+ for your family to fly, stay, drive, and eat, you really aren't motivated by a better deal on the $60 per person (...) (18 years ago, 14-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)
 
  Re: The proliferation of fests: Good or bad?
 
(...) I'm confused. Better prices on what? LEGO (doubtful, as those prices are not driven by competition generated by fests) or things like registration fees (again, really doubtful; I've seen no evidence that those fees are driven by a profit (...)

  Re: The proliferation of fests: Good or bad?
 
(...) Aaron- I think BW is far enough in the past not affect most thinking except, perhaps, to question the viability of Southern CA to attract enough LEGO oriented people. Most of the content at BFs is brought by people in their vehicles and we (...) (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)
 
  Re: The proliferation of fests: Good or bad?
 
(...) Having lived in SoCal, and asked the same question many times of many people, I think a lot of it is that there are still some hard feelings after the BricksWest incident. Also, many people have expressed the hard question of whether or not to (...) (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)
 
  Re: BrickWorld 07 Train Layout call for participation
 
(...) Great to have you aboard. As soon as I gather more responses, we'll begin the next step. Hopefully we can begin planning no later than late January. -Jeramy (18 years ago, 12-Dec-06, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)
 
  Re: The proliferation of fests: Good or bad?
 
(...) Well, he should have. If you look at a map of North America Omaha may be closer to the actual centre of the continent but it does not have Chicago's status as possibly the largest air and rail hub in the central part of North America. It sucks (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-06, to lugnet.events)
 
  Re: The proliferation of fests: Good or bad?
 
(...) Anthony - You are right Chicago is not in the exact center of the country. Let's consider logistics for a moment: 1) St Louis is 4+ hours from the nearest major city and only 3 or 4 major cities within an easy days drive (still 12 hours from (...)

  Re: The proliferation of fests: Good or bad?
 
(...) Jeramy- I'm thinking more about co-locating (in time and space) a general LEGO event with the big LTC effort for NMRA. Possibly even at the same venue (there's a lot of event space at the Convention Center and NMRA is not even actually in the (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)
