(...) Not sure I agree there either - speaking as an organiser of Brickvention, all the organisers, helpers, presenters, etc paid registration, it meant the difference between a small loss and a large loss. Even our Australian LEGO Ambassador paid (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

--snip-- (...) On that I don't think I agree. I think that volunteers (of sufficient involvement) should be given free registration. If you are volunteering then you have to attend and it is thus an expense. In the event of a loss then I imagine (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Tommy: Here, here! I agree. Everyone else: Here's where I boldly go where I probably shouldn't. Conventions cost money. There is money to pay for licensing fees, building usage, etc. If there is a profit, it (usually) does not go into the (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Then why did you say "last year's BrickFest brought in $13000 in profit for himself" (my emphasis) rather than "... for BrickJournal Media LLC"? (...) So again, why did you say "last year's BrickFest brought in $13000 in profit for himself"? (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) The word "profit" was Joe's: The total profit that went to BrickJournal Media LLC was about $13,000. This is in addition to the $3,000 that went to AMH Productions for use of the BrickFest name, as determined by an agreement that was signed in (...)

Peronally I'd be a lot happier paying more for a fest that's expensive because of expenses than (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
