I am still on the fence about going. I have a short <<not>> message about why
I posted on our LUG page:
<clip>
Sorry folks at this point, I got to step out. A number of reasons
why, I imagine you can guess some of them... However, if I get some
better answers to the issues brought up by this string I may be a
last minute entry.
My concerns:
I've attended a number of Psychic fairs and even the ones that are
closed to the public have a booth cost. People who want to
partcipate seperately pay a different fee. (really this is an
observation...)
Perks. What are they? "half day" in the park? What exactly does
that mean? Let me point this out; we will be wandering all over the
pavillion all weekend long. Why do we need a special session for
this on Sunday?
Schedule. I checked out the schedule for Brickwest. Looks mighty
repetetive. I dare say uninteresting.
I'll be honest here. And I mention it because I've never done
Brickwest, or any other Lego con, and maybe someone can enlighten me
a little. I want to wander around the pavillion, look around a bit,
then head out into Legoland. I'm willing to take turns manning the
booth, AND in addition to, do whatever the event coordiantor needs
for Brickwest. Just as long as I get my playtime. Even if Legoland
provides a big ol table of bricks to play with would be more fun than
sitting in the pavillion all day.
You see, that's what I'm afraid of; we go, put up a table and sit.
And watch, and sit. Come back tomorrow. Sit, listen to Ldraw for
the fourth time. Watch. Get a short tour and chow, to sit and
listen to some people say, "thanks for coming, here's your shirt."
Not a value at four days of vacation, food, lodging, gas, and $75
privalidge to sit at the pavillion at Legoland.
Er, I just read this. I don't mean to sound harsh. Sorry if it
does. It's just that this is an investment of cash and resources,
and I want to make sure I get out of it what I want.

Don't get me wrong. I would love nothing more than to spend three days
chatting Lego. I just want more, and with all that's involved, well maybe
CA a little too far, my vacation is too scarce, and $75 is too much for a
1/2 day.
