(...) It's been a combination of location and a NLSO. Now that I live in DC, hopefully I will be able to get to the next BF, if only for the public exposition. In the past when I was not near a fest, it's kind of hard to say "Well, honey, I love you (...) (19 years ago, 11-Dec-06, to lugnet.events)

(...) Why haven't you attended a fest? Seriously. Is it time? Location? Money? While more events doesn't help with the money, (except for cutting down travel-expenses), it can help with the correct time, or better location. As you said, these may (...) (19 years ago, 11-Dec-06, to lugnet.events)

I actually have not yet been to a fest, so perhaps my input means less here, but I'm all for having multiple fests each year. To me it comes down to a simple question - do we have the same group of people, now diluted over multiple fests (and (...) (19 years ago, 11-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) As one of the "fest proliferators" I would like to add my 2 cents... We decided to create Brickworld because there was no centrally located large AFOL event and we believe that there are many midwest, mountain and west coast AFOLs that would (...)
