Kelly,
I think the confusion is from the fact that the BrickFest event in
Portland has always been "BrickFest PDX", while the event in DC has
just been "BrickFest".
For a couple years, there have been two events carrying the BrickFest
name. This year there will only be one, and there will not be one in
DC, as there has for the last several years.
As was stated very early on, BrickWorld was not intended to replace
BrickFest...
http://news.lugnet.com/events/brickworld/?n=10
It was only intended to bring an adult LEGO event closer to people in
the midwest.
Now that BrickFest in DC has been canceled, maybe Brickworld will
grow into a big summer event, but it was NEVER intended as a replacement.
