(...) Phew! Glad to hear your beautiful and charming bride is at least 15 years old! I second the notion for a Brickfest schedule to be posted. Not sure I can make it, but even if not, I'd love to know what I'm missing. -Brendan (17 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.

--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 (...) (17 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

There is money to pay for licensing fees, building usage, etc. If there is a profit, it (usually) does not go into the (...) (17 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

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 (...)

Warm colors tend to be tinted by reds, oranges, yellows, basiclly "warm" feeling colors. Example: the old greys (...) (17 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)
