It was a hypothetical LEGO convention name suggested by Robin Werner:

SpringBrick 2003 (spring?) - Central Florida Area, USA

This name came up in a GFLUG/GFLTC meeting earlier this year. The club threw out a few ideas that we thought about working into an different type of LEGO event model. I’ve sorta been sitting on a proposal for an AFOL “Builder’s Challenge” type of event for a few months now; been meaning to run it by the Orlando LIC to see if they’d offer any support to it. Here’s some of the ideas behind it:

• A central Florida AFOL event that would be held sometime in February/March/April, or a ‘cheaper’ time of the year than normal spring break.

• A good number of AFOLs vacation in central Florida for spring break already, an informal event could be created for LEGO fans, where the AFOL could split her or his time between a LEGO-centric event & their family.

• The best way to understand the idea behind “SpringBrick” is to think of a LEGO building event crossed with a reality TV cooking challenge for LEGO fans -- this is at the core of the event.

If anyone is interested in the idea, let me know and I’ll post more... but I don’t want to give all of it away just yet. I still think it would be a pretty cool event to try to host; I don’t want to give away too many of the surprises if we could make it happen. :)

(...) Headlight Brick Battle! Who gets to be (URL) Chairman Kaga>? That's a very interesting idea, and a clever way to avoid hauling MOCs across the country. I hope to hear more about it in the future. Marc Nelson Jr. (17 years ago, 18-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)
