I am really sad that these comments about Brickfest and if Christina and/or Joe
are keeping profits and if volunteers are being shafted while whomever is
profiting from Brickfest are being spoken.
At this point, I don’t care. I HAVE attended BF for the last 4 years and plan
to attend in the future. Each year I have recieved more value for my dollar
than in any other experience in LEGO, other than playing with LEGO Castle and
Pirates with my sons as they grew up.
Until I went to my first BF in ‘03, I thought I was alone in playing with LEGO
as an Adult. Oh, I knew about most of the fan envolment, but I had never been
in a room of more than 3 to 5 who actually played with LEGO.
In ‘03, I attended BF, all the MOC’s, the people, the seminars... I was so
amazed, like being a kid again. I could spend all day talking to real people
with the same interest. You cannot put a price tag on this.
Many, many thanks to Christina and Joe and all who have worked and assisted in
doing BF. Again, I don’t care about where the money went, or who was
compensated for what. I trust both Christina and Joe, period. I am selfish, I
got all I could from BF, many memories that must last me until the next BF.
Do I want to see the books, Nope, do I want to have them account to me, Nope.
I remember serving on our Church’s finance committee, one of our members quit
the commitee due to her not being able to discuss where the money went and the
need to do fund raisers. She was perfectly content that God would provide the
Church’s needs. Not reality... So if Christina and Joe are hoarding funds, ok,
as long as there is another BF.
If the registation fees for BF skyrocket due to whatever reason, I will still
not question, I will simply not attend due to the costs, not to blaming
Christina and Joe for profiteering.
