Ok, so he didn't actually say Chicago was centrally located. However, he did
say, in the quoted text above:
"We decided to create Brickworld because there was no centrally located large
AFOL event"
Which I read as saying Brickworld was created, in part, to fill the void of
there not being a centrally located large AFOL event. And it is known that
Brickworld is located:
"Brickworld ‘07 to be held in Chicago."
Thus and therefore, I proceeded to use the following logic:
BrickWorld is a centrally located fest.
Brickworld is to be held in Chicago
Chicago is centrally located.
But yes, he did not actually say it.
