| Um, how can it be one-of-a-kind if each attendee can buy two? :P (17 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

|
| (...) Yes, Jeremy did a great job with it, I think it's an outstanding event model. (...) Good catch - the bricks for the 2007 event haven't been made yet, so we used the only PDX brick we had available, which of course had 2004 on it (from the last (...)

| (...) Very nice model!!! I hope you plan to change the year on the engraved brick :) Conversely - If Portland is in a time warp, please place a bet for me over the phone to Vegas - I want to bet on Florida to win the national championship in NCAA (...)

| (...) In the past, having watched Christina and Kevin Loch, and all the many others dedicated to planning events, it seemed clear to me that the huge, megaconventions like BF, take much more than 6 months to plan. I think she is stating that no one (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

First, let me say that I am personally disappointed, so my post may (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
| | | | | Re: BrickFest 2007

| (...) Hmm. This is something that I guess I'm confused on. What's the difference between a regional, national, and international event? I had assumed (quite possibly wrongly) that it was where the folks attended from, not the inital intentions of (...) (17 years ago, 12-Jan-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

|
| (...) Good one! But actually, that's a good point; instead of riffing on BrickFest (BrickWorld) or LEGOWorld (BrickWorld), it could've riffed on NWBrickCon (MWBrickCon), which in my mind is the premier regional event in the US. (...) Well, I have to (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

If anything we have done to create a great public event in Chicago has offended you, we are truly and sincerely sorry. Our goals were to give the (...)

And I don't think we'll have a corset-fitter at BrickWorld (mores the pity), or the pirates :-). But yes, on a more serious note, (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
| | | | | Re: BrickFest 2007
|
| (...) Agreed. Some might find it important to note that Brickworld essentiall grew out of discussions at last year's Chicago House of Bricks. Last year's HoB was a great success, but the sci-fi convention it was attached to was--to put it mildly, (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Judging from how difficult it is to coordinate things like Thanksgiving dinner or a simple family reunion, I can only imagine the difficulty pulling together a big event, like the two Brickfests I attended in (...)

For a couple years, there have been two events carrying the BrickFest name. (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

We will attempt to display every single Space set, 1979-1999, Classic through Insectoids, in one giant and beautiful layout. So we need you to bring a few of your (...)
