Here's the start of a few ideas that the Greater Florida LEGO User Group (GFLUG) will share under a (URL) attribution share-alike creative commons license>. If you like these ideas & decided to host an event based on these ideas, just give us (...) (17 years ago, 19-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX) !!

So let me get this straight. There will be absolutely no profit from this that will secretly end up in an off shore account? BTW, I see the absence of a wet minifig torso contest. You can't have a Lego Spring break without one. F (17 years ago, 19-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

Due to distance and extra workload in the spring, I won't be attending, but I think the name is really neat. The overall fun loving concept sounds great too. David (17 years ago, 19-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) The event is still hypothetical at this point. We may or may not have it ready for spring of 2008, but please consider it if we do have it in the future. One other idea that was tossed around was to loosely base the competition also around (...) (17 years ago, 20-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

As well, at that time, I had no idea who I was biding against, had I known it was for the Museum, I would have perhaps behaved better (nah, Im not sure I know how to (...)

(...) I'm with you on this, what I loved most about Brickfest was haning out with all the people. Getting to talk face to face with people that I only know via the computer. I love it when I travel to a LEGO friendly town and get a chance to have a (...) (17 years ago, 23-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

Mike, This also sounds a little like the Food Network Challenges that you see from time to time. A little known fact about Iron Chef (at least the original Japanese version)...the secret ingredient wasn't exactly "secret"...What happened was that (...)

(...) I've been looking at the LEGO convention model, listening to the on-line criticism thinking to myself that some of the points are very valid. How do you hold a convention without holding a public day? And how do you run it more closer to a (...) (17 years ago, 24-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) This line of reasoning is driving me batty. Money taken in from a public display is not "profit". As part of the overall budget it is simply revenue that helps pay for the event. If you don't mind paying X amount more per event attendee then (...) (17 years ago, 24-Oct-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)

I really like the concept of SpringBrick, however I see a neat opportunity for you guys to do something different than what the traditional Fests offer. Choosing a date where out-of-state AFOLs could attend might be an issue. As my oldest enters (...) (17 years ago, 10-Dec-07, to lugnet.events, FTX)
