Hey everyone! I'm looking for the schedule of events for Brickfest. I can't seem to pull it up anywhere--so if some nice person would please point me in the right direction, I'd much much obliged. Especially since my beautiful and charming bride of (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX) !

(...) That is why I said 'of sufficient involvement' and the no hard and fast rules bit you snipped. In the case of a small convention like BV then there simply aren't the funds to let all the volunteers in for free. In that case you have to set the (...)

(...) 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)

(...) Here we go again. Well to say that Joe brought in a profit of $13,000 is not exactly correct as his total expenses, if I remember, were not delineated in his accounting . His labor and personal expenses, mileage, trip costs, etc were not (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Hi Will, I'm posting here cause it may be useful to others. There is a check box that will keep your name private if you so choose. You might want to look to see if that's what's happening. In the mean time I'll have someone check into it on the (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Matt, Okay first off a little lesson to those who might be not so familure with color. There are 2 main types of color: Warm and Cool. Warm colors tend to be tinted by reds, oranges, yellows, basiclly "warm" feeling colors. Example: the old greys (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)
