Not to bust anyone’s bubble, but the DC Festival has always occurred in a
window from about mid-June to late August.

Look, not a big deal but there is a difference between a summer fest and a
second fest in the fall. BrickWorld took over the summer spot left vacant by
BrickFest. BrickFair could have chosen a winter date or a spring date (as no
BrickFest has been announced for spring ‘08). They didn’t, that’s
unfortunate, but in the end the number of AFOL’s it will affect could
probably be counted on one hand. Just might have been nice to leave more
options open, that’s all.

Had BrickFair been done in the winter or spring I would have been more apt to
attend. However, given that BrickFair and BrickWorld are only a few months
apart, I will have to give my support to Brickworld. I can’t justify going to
two giant, money sapping events (travel, hotel, etc.) so close together and
because I cannot fly, going to Brickworld, being far more centrally located, is
a full 8 to 10 hours closer to me, and allows me to use a relative as a half way
rest stop.
And I’m NEVER driving the 26-28 hours to Arlington without stopping ever ever
again. What were we thinking...?
