Hey, what about those of us who don't live in a corner of the country, like
along the northern edge instead? :)
There are some fests popping up that are more regional in nature. For example,
the event I produce, Brick Bash, is held here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, every
March and has attracted exhibitors from about 200 miles around. Brick Bash isn't
an AFOL fest, though, it's more of a public exhibition.
Chicago House of Bricks is another exmaple. I met AFOLs from across the country
there, but mostly they were regional folks (at least that's what I experienced
when I was there in 2005).
I don't think there can be too many. My Brick Bash will never measure-up to or
replace a nationally-attended event like Brick Fest. It's more of something to
do for those within a few hour's drive.
We even allow AFOLs from Ohio, but I'm sure they will receive a much colder
reception next time. ;)
