|

Just a heads-up: I'll be giving a presentation at BrickFest to show you how to successfully design decals for printing on a waterslide-decal printer. I'll show you how I designed my Spy Bond torso decals, and German Army torso decals, and show you (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest) !!

Jon Rasmussen, who has been in PNLTC and its offspring clubs for about 10 years now and who is a very active builder in Wild West, among other themes, is still a lurker here on Lugnet. So I'm posting this stuff for him. :) Jon will be hosting the (...)

(...) 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 (...) (18 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 (...) (18 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 (...)
