(...) As someone fairly involved in two other activities which have gatherings, I have to disagree. There are definitely people who will go to as many events as possible. On the other hand, both of these groups do have a weeklong annual convention (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

(...) I agree completely. Just had to give a me2. Both Chris and I think that keeping Brickfest as the name for the D.C. event is a good idea; they "coined" their name. I love the idea of holding other fests, but it would be best to use other names, (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

(...) Yeah, or if you're not made of money, perhaps a 'fest on the west coast might be a good thing. I would have really enjoyed being there, but with airline tickets being in the $300.00 range, not counting expenses, the cost was prohibitive. Many (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

Of course everyone wants as close to them as possible. And why should population have anything to do with where it is held? Of course California has a huge population, there are more people crammed into that state then in the entire country of (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

(...) Larry, All, I'm glad that you feel that way. This may make some very unhappy for geographical regions, but to have multiple fests (whatever name you use as the banner) is dilative to the "Brickfest(*)" experience. Even at once a year, I'm not (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

Amusingly, just about everyone wants it held as close to them as possible! Realistically, San Francisco or south of it a bit make the most sense geographically. I suppose one could make the argument that Seattle makes the most sense for playing with (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
