(...) Mark- I think the LEGO gods have shone the light upon us for NMRA 2008 (July 13-20, 2008 at the Anaheim Marriott, 700 West Convention Way, Anaheim CA 92802). This event is walking distance to the LEGO store in Downtown Disney (and Angel (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Jeramy- I'm thinking more about co-locating (in time and space) a general LEGO event with the big LTC effort for NMRA. Possibly even at the same venue (there's a lot of event space at the Convention Center and NMRA is not even actually in the (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Having lived in SoCal, and asked the same question many times of many people, I think a lot of it is that there are still some hard feelings after the BricksWest incident. Also, many people have expressed the hard question of whether or not to (...) (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Aaron- I think BW is far enough in the past not affect most thinking except, perhaps, to question the viability of Southern CA to attract enough LEGO oriented people. Most of the content at BFs is brought by people in their vehicles and we (...) (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) I'm confused. Better prices on what? LEGO (doubtful, as those prices are not driven by competition generated by fests) or things like registration fees (again, really doubtful; I've seen no evidence that those fees are driven by a profit (...) (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Brian- I agree that fest prices cannot be much of issue affecting national, if not regional, attendance. If you spend $1.5K+ for your family to fly, stay, drive, and eat, you really aren't motivated by a better deal on the $60 per person (...) (18 years ago, 14-Dec-06, to lugnet.events, FTX)

Well, keep in mind some people have only emerged from their Dark Ages recently as well as living quite a distance away and having spouses and family responsibilities before jetting off to LLC. :) As a family man I would be interested in a such (...)
