(...) Again, I must digress. The name of the event neither makes nor breaks it. Although the last 'BrickFest' did occur in Portland, there has been no announcement since, official or otherwise, as to when or where or even if another BrickFest will (...)

(...) For the short form, check out this post: (URL) partway down the line "$3,000 that went to AMH Productions for use of the BrickFest name". When people use a name for an event, they very often reserve some rights to the name (a good idea - as (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.events)

(...) The names are proprietary; they are owned by various people. The name BrickFest is a bit debatable (I think 4 people claim rights to it) but one person commands $3,000 fee to use it. I figured, "To heck with that, I'll start my own name and (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Sounds great. But what's the deal with the name change? Why does every brick conference have to have a new name? I don't really care what name we used. For years, Brickfest was the standard name for this event, but now I guess those are only (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) No need to apologize. As I said it will not be that many people affected and really, how many Brick events can we all go to every year? :) Of course I would like to go to this one because I actually lived about ten minutes away from Tysons (...)

(...) Todd, I think the choice of dates is about as good as it could be. For me, summer is best (as I recall, fall starts sometime after labor day). The thought of driving 600 miles with my MOCs in Feb/Mar is not pleasant. I suspect the 10 hour trip (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.events)

(...) In my opinion, chosing a winter date runs the risk of weather spoiling a good event for travelers. (...) I am hoping to attend both BrickWorld and BrickFair. -- Don (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) I'm sorry if anyone is put off by the timing of the event. Ultimately, when it comes to timing, you cannot possibly please everyone. The possibility of a Spring or Fall event was suggested to me. But my only experience with Lego festivals is (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Had BrickFair been done in the winter or spring I would have been more apt to attend. However, given that BrickFair and BrickWorld are only a few months apart, I will have to give my support to Brickworld. I can't justify going to two giant, (...)

(...) Look, not a big deal but there is a difference between a summer fest and a second fest in the fall. BrickWorld took over the summer spot left vacant by BrickFest. BrickFair could have chosen a winter date or a spring date (as no BrickFest has (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)
