(...) If you feel you got your money's worth (~$20/day) from the privilege of attending and participating, does it really matter where the money goes?

(...) I'm sorry but the minute an organizer of Brickfest starts making money off of the event itself, compensation or not, I'm not going. If this was the case this year, I'm glad I didn't go. Yes, there are groups making money off of Brickfest - the (...) (18 years ago, 8-Sep-06, to lugnet.events, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

What about the literally thousands of hours that Christina has given of her time to get the thing going--along with all the other dedicated volunteers in the past, and the hundreds of hours Joe spent this year to pull it all together.

(...) Hi, before the 1000steine Land we didn't have any information about what set to build and who will build. 5 people were selected to build, and the rules were: -Build the set as fast as possible -Only use one set of instructions and do not rip (...)

(...) One of the reasons a lot of people I know have complained is because the price is higher than a lot of other events, such as science fiction conventions and anime conventions, and they've felt it just isn't worth the same, especially (...)
