This reply is not targeted at Jake or any specific person. It was just convenient to reply to Jake's post. Well, I thought I'd be done with this thread, but it looks like I'm going to have to put out a fire before it explodes. I really don't want to log on to lugnet and find someone belittling me saying "I can't believe you said that, you're a moron for thinking that cause I was there and you weren't." For some reason people are taking this sentance: "Quite honestly I can't see how any one person spends thousands of man hours on putting a single Brickfest together" To mean: "Putting on Brickfest is easy and a monkey can do it." If someone worked 8 hours a day, every day, it would take them 125 days to reach 1,000 hours. Any organizer of a Brickfest-scale event that works that hard is not utilizing their time wisely, especially since Brickfest is put on by a horde of volunteers. I'll believe it takes the head-organizer 100 hours to put on a brickfest. I'll even believe 200. Has Christina spent a cumulative "thousands of hours" on the events in the history of Brickfest? I dunno. But anyone expecting me to believe that any ONE person spends A THOUSAND hours on ONE Brickfest is severely overestimating my gullability. Some people seem to think they know every thing I've ever done, and seem to think I have never been involved with organizing an event. Some people claim to know my every thought and detail in my head. Sucks to be them. --Anthony

(...) Anthony, I was the one who made that statement about thousands of hours, and if you look at it, I was saying thousands for Christina, hundreds for Joe. I was talking about cumulative hours for Christina, and feel confident that over all the (...) (18 years ago, 10-Sep-06, to lugnet.events, lugnet.events.brickfest)

Folks, 'Sbeen a little while since I've been in here, and I must say, honestly I can't leave you kids alone for a second! :) I've decided to reply to Anthony's post, not because my words are necessarily directed at him, but because...well, I'm not (...)

(...) Anthony, I appreciate your attempts to calculate the amount of hours an organizer might put into an event. Indeed it is difficult to fathom the number of hours a person is willing to contribute to something. Allow me a moment to quantify the (...)

(...) Anthony, all due respect when I say this - I think you're woefully underestimating the time required to put on such an event. I'm in no way speaking for Christina or the BF volunteers, but I know from my own experience of trying to organize (...) (18 years ago, 9-Sep-06, to lugnet.events, lugnet.events.brickfest)
