  BrickFest 2007 location

  Re: BrickFest registration fees (was: LEGO Adult Fan Convention at Legoland California?)
 
(...) I was the one who came up with thousands of hours, and I actually thought about it before writing it which is a bit unusual with me. I was thinking of Christina's total input of hours for the last 5 or is it 6 years. And I would bet she has (...) (18 years ago, 12-Sep-06, to lugnet.events, lugnet.events.brickfest)
 
  Re: BrickFest registration fees (was: LEGO Adult Fan Convention at Legoland California?)
 
I've been reading this dicussion, and have a few thoughts: First off, a consideration of what the event coordinator has to put in: - A fair bit of time, sure, not 1000s of hours (for one event), 1000s of hours is a full time job... Hundreds of hours (...) (18 years ago, 11-Sep-06, to lugnet.events, lugnet.events.brickfest)  
 
  Flattery Will Get You Nowhere (Was: BrickFest Registration Fees)
 
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 (...)

(...) Joe, thanks for the info-note. I'm honestly one of those who believe that organizers should be compensated, at least 100% of their expenses (including mileage, phone, plane, etc), but I also hope that Brickfest can start maintaining a "cash (...)

  Re: BrickFest registration fees (was: LEGO Adult Fan Convention at Legoland California?)
 
(...) Well Anthony, I am sorry you feel that way, but I will tell you from my own personal experience that I, as a strong participant in AFOL events, have helped arrange, coordinate, setup, present, book, organize, and generally help any way I can.

(...) 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)
 
  Re: BrickFest registration fees
 
(...) Where do you get these ideas? They're *opinions*, not fact. Of course staffing a convention can be employment. It doesn't *have* to be payment-free or volunteer work. And event money *can* go to paying staff. Do you not understand that (...) (18 years ago, 10-Sep-06, to lugnet.events, lugnet.events.brickfest)
