I think there's room for multiple regional events here. Those who have the
resources to fly around the country can attend as many of them as they like,
but they would be organised and mostly attended by locals from the
surrounding region (however the region gets defined).
So far the suggested locations are:
Pacific Northwest (Seattle or Portland).
San Francisco
Carlsbad (although being next to Legoland is nice it's not the point of a
fest, which for me is getting together with other AFOLs and sharing MOCs)
Denver, CO
Dakota
Other regions not yet mentioned with active LUG/LTCs where a Brickfest might
be good...
Florida
Minnesota
.....???
Imagine every month a regional Brickfest happening around the continent.
Hey, let's not think small... around the world! [I know, fests of this type
have already happened in other countries, it would not be new :-) ]

| To All, I think the regional brickfests would be good, te ones who travel a lot would be able to go to most of them, and some of us who can't can still go to the local ones. i think the various LUGS can charter a bus or perhaps carpool to them or (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

| 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: (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
