(...) Personally I think a LEGO retail store is not a necessity (look at BrickFest PDX, or the first couple NW BrickCons, of course now both Seattle and PDX do have stores). In fact, in the past, I used to curse it's existence as a serious (...) (18 years ago, 12-Sep-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) Indy does have an active club (displaying at train & hobby shows year round) and I'm part of a LEGO Robotics club (LafLRC) that's about an hour drive, and would also offer volunteer help. Steve (18 years ago, 12-Sep-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) As a member of IndyLUG, I would say that we are a very active club, having around 15 strong members and 27 total on our roster. We've averaged 7-9 public shows a year for the past three years. Along with the LafLRC, only 30-40 miles away ready (...) (18 years ago, 12-Sep-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) No disrespect to Frank, Jeramy, or anyone, but an active club is not, in my mind a prerequisite for a convention. The Washington Metropolitan Area has two active clubs, an LTC and a LUG. Neither plays an overly dominant role. I am not saying (...) (18 years ago, 13-Sep-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Well I may not be the best authority on the subject but I'll give it a shot, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. NWBrickCon has been fan organized from the beginning, we haven't hired anyone to help organize. I don't think the first (...) (18 years ago, 13-Sep-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

To All, (...) As others have mentioned, I would love to see a Brickfest type event here in the midwest, and I would love to help out. Hopefully I will be able to participate more with IndyLUG here soon - our move is finally over, and my LSF is (...) (18 years ago, 13-Sep-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Actually, Chicago has had a brick event for the past two years. It's called "House of Bricks" and while it isn't as highly attended as Brickfest, those who have gone have had a good time by all reports. I was involved in HoB1, but not Hob2. HoB (...)
