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 (...) (24 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.events)
