Since I just asked this
question about BrickFest PDX 2007...
Can the organizers of BrickWorld 2007 tell us who (if anyone) will be

I’m just curious: what leads you to think that this type of information should
be public knowledge? It’s as if you believe that fest organizers are somehow
obligated to account for every penny to the GP, and AFOLs in particular. Do
you suspect that such people are somehow ripping off AFOLs who attend?
And if they do make money off of an event, is that somehow a Bad Thing™?
It seems to me that even by posing the question, it raises a question of
impropriety; kinda like “when did you stop beating your wife?”

I think that this sort of information is VERY important when an event is soliciting the public for volunteers, especially if they are actually expecting people to volunteer their time and effort. The intention/purpose of the show is also very (...) (18 years ago, 17-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)
