(...) We have a huge advantage in that BrickFair is filling the void from previous events, so we know what to expect. In that regard we are taking less risk. Tony, your best best would be to start the way BrickFest did and just get as many AFOLs (...) (17 years ago, 17-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Several members of TexLUG have talked about it and even made some preliminary inquiries, but there are several factors moving against us. There are several cities in Texas (and central southern US) that would be excellent for hosting an event, (...) (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Well this leads me to all the "boring" reasons I didn't list. Let's see here. Just speaking for myself, I dunno how many other fest leaders share my thoughts... 1. I would not wish to share the BrickFair name and watch someone else fail, thus (...) (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Well, I think it's pretty darn petty to insist on a $3,000 fee. If Brickfest is off the table, I would hope that we as a community can come up with a name that be used relatively freely. I do agree that certain standards should be maintained, (...) (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Actually, Brickworld took the spot left vacant by House of Bricks. It was never meant to replace what most assumed would have be a DC Brickfest07. (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) 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)

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 (...)
