The possibility of a Spring or Fall event was suggested to me. But my only
experience with Lego festivals is in the summer. And since I’m risking
approximately $105,000 and months of hard work to make the event happen, I
wanted to minimize the variables as much as possible.

And this makes me want to attend the event, why? Telling possible attendees
how much you are personally risking on an event is pointless, not to mention
off-putting...

I disagree, as Todd seems to have been ‘put on the carpet’ for the telling of
his expenses, the fact that he had such a great feeling for the event that he
was willing to put up this or any amount to see it happen is commendable.
I really don’t know or care to know how the financis of these events are
handled. I have gone to the last few Brickfest in D.C. and this year’s
BrickWorld and I am planning to go to BrickWorld and BrickFair next year. As
long as I feel that I ‘got my monies worth’ from the event and come away feeling
good then ok. If the cost factor over-shadows an event then I will make a
decision to attend the next year. Please stop trying to put down the event
organizers or Joe (BrickJournal). I tip my hat to you all.
My 2¢ worth...
