Where: Portland, OR at the Oregon Convention Center, Hall A
When: March 26-29, 2009 (setup: Th, convention: Fr-Sn)
Hotel: Red Lion Hotel (mention BRICKFEST for room block rate)
Who: All AFOLs!
YES, it’s that time again! Join us for the 3rd Portland BrickFest back at the
OCC Hall A and the RED LION, and all the Burgerville you can stand to eat!
From all the AFOL feedback we have received asking when the next BrickFest is,
we are expecting a great turnout from all the familiar faces, as well as all
the new AFOLs that have join our community in the last couple years! Wow, I
can’t believe it been two years!
It’s easy to get to the OCC & Red LION: ~$2 for a MAX light rail ride form the
airport; so no rental car needed. Once downtown MAX is free, so enjoy the
many fine restaurants and microbrew pubs that make Portland a fine place to
visit!
SEE YOU THERE!

Q&A
Q: Has BrickFest changed formats?
A: Nope! We believe that the current BrickFest format works great and we are
keeping it the same. Of course we strive to make the event the best possible
and make tweaks as needed.
Q: Is there a public expo this time?
A: Yes, there will be a public expo on Sunday afternoon only, same as last
time. BrickFest is for the AFOLs, there is no rush to setup the displays, so
have fun attending sessions, arranging and rearranging MOCs, and goofing off!
Q: Will there be workshops and sessions.
A: Of course! There are so many topics to discuss and share and MOCs to see,
we’ll be expecting many of you to volunteer to give talks and host round
tables etc… one of BrickFest’s assets is the sharing of the tribal knowledge.
Q: When can I register?
A: Registration will begin January 1st 2009 (for book keeping purposes), but
mark your calendars, I already rented the OCC!
Q: Is Christina Hitchcock involved?
A: Christina is completely behind BrickFest ’09 and will be taking an advisory
position.

Steve--
Count on Deena and I to be there as well. The offer we made to you at BrickCon a
week back still stands--if there’s anything we can to do help out, give a holler
and we’ll give it a go.
Meantime...I have to start thinking NOW about what I want to build...!
Play Well and Prosper,
