Good catch - the bricks for the 2007 event haven't been made yet, so we used the only PDX brick we had available, which of course had 2004 on it (from the last (...)

But actually, that's a good point; instead of riffing on BrickFest (BrickWorld) or LEGOWorld (BrickWorld), it could've riffed on NWBrickCon (MWBrickCon), which in my mind is the premier regional event in the US.
