-a lot of snipping-

Personally, I think Adrian's idea of placing a new con in Aneheim is the best
I've heard so far. While we might not have the type of fan we're looking for
attending the con, we at least have access to plenty of space, Lego, and hotels.

So far, that's the best 'plan' I've heard - far better than something haphazard
going up in Portland.

It's good to see someone is giving a thumbs up to my idea :-)

It's also good to see this topic starting getting some attention.  Let's go back
in history to when the BW idea got started.

http://news.lugnet.com/org/us/lugola/?n=553

So it was around mid September/mid October(help me out) the idea of BW came to
be.  A LUGOLA meeting was held in November to discuss it(and some other things
too) and a few months later, it happens.  OK, so what's the point?

For those like myself who would much like to keep this in So Cal we had better
start planning soon.  Two routes here, "Plan A" and "Plan B".

Plan A is Matt is going to be doing the organizing again but until any of us get
word from him soon(How soon? I don't know), Plan A will likely crash.

Plan B:  Just as there was a LUGOLA meet held to get people and ideas together
for the first BW, maybe we ought to do it again but sooner.  Say, sometime
around mid September or early October.  Doing so around then would give us a
little extra time to plan things out and, hopefully, we'll get word from Matt.
The "B" in Plan B is for "Backup".

We should also look at how the AFOL community has recieved more recognition from
LEGO in the last two years since the BW idea began and examine its use.

I just caught Lar's post and he did bring up an important point others have
touched on as well- name ownership.  If we don't get in contact w/ Matt and
Brickmedia, someone had better come up with a new name for this.

Adr.

(...) I'm in total agree ment there. I've already started preliminary plans using the connections I could reach on a Sunday. I'll expect better responses tomorrow. (...) How about September 6th?

(...) Fair enough. Though that wasn't what was presented to us yesterday, but fine, we'll go with your analysis for now. (...) Partly true. What I see is a group of people trying to put together an event more than 1000 miles away on the same weekend (...) (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.events.brickfest)
