Tommy and for others,
The sad reality is that the individual incharge of BricksWest had the money
through registration, but absconded with the cash leaving those owed in the
lurch. This experience illustrated to me why all of the AFOL conventions need to
be open book affairs, where everyone is aware of where the money is going and
who is profiting or out-of-pocket.
I agree with many of your points. The reason I made this post was to seek out
this kind of comment, and it worked.
I definitely think that if a convention for Adult Fans of LEGO were held at the
park it would be different from BrickFest. For me, the attraction is the park
and the AFOLs mutually enjoying it. I think the park should help defray the
costs and make it pallatable for us to be there.
Thanks for the input. Sorry you got stiffed. I wish there was someway to get you
paid.
Todd
