Hey all,

I have been kicking this idea around myself, especially since the mech
builders who didn't make it to BrickFest were so jazzed about attending
BrickFest next year. I even solicited a few e-mail responses about it.

Here are some of my ideas:

Name: BricksWest (Cute? Clever? Dumb? What?)

Clever/cutesy ;)

Date: Late November-December-the opposite of BrickFest for those with the
resources to do both coasts-possibly January, about the same diff'...we
COULD still pull one off THIS year...

January - *after* holiday stress is over - and then also six months
before/after Brickfest

Location: Something more central is preferred...

My smart-mouth suggestion for this post is coming now -

Hold "BricksWest" in DAKOTA!  We're the geographic center of the continent,
don'chya know?  It would be perfect (for me) - although there don't seem to
be too many other AFOL's up here in the (95 degrees today) tundra.

Really - Carlsbad would be good, esp. since my sister lives in El Cajon.

I've done event management, and wouldn't mind organizing the overall event
(yes...that's me volunteering...don't tell my wife!). If it's way out of my
area, I'll also help remotely.

So? What do you all think? Weigh in with choices on location, dates, etc.
here, or e-mail me, and I'll be happy to start sorting ideas together. I'll
put up a temporary web site for organizing notes and all if it's called for,
also.

Matt

Web site, event management - a lot to take on.  Thanks!  I'll volunteer to
be one of your flunkies, if you would like a hand.

(...) I think everyone is leaning towards January, or even February...still 6 months from BrickFest DC. I'd be happy with that. (...) Oh sure...you can get in touch with Kevin for that one...he'll be arranging all of the nation/world-wide events! (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
