BricksWest was a long trip for me, I live in upstate NY. I attended because my primary interest was in meeting other AFOLs and see their work first hand. I did not enjoy the fact that most of the people and their MOCs were in seperate locations most of the time. I found that trying to spilt the event between a hotel conference room and a tent in the park was only marginally acceptable. I do understand that I may be in the minority in that I have no interest in showing off stuff to the public at large in an attempt to recruit AFOLs in S. Cal as this is a lost cause for me since I live 1000s miles away. If BricksWest, for example, is to be even more park oriented this year, then it will not have the appeal that a more "closed" type event has for me. That's my $.02 JB

(...) The time expended is certainly a factor, but it's actually more a factor of expectations. When I do a train show, I usually commit a whole weekend to it.
