| | Chicago House of Bricks was a blast! Thank you to everyone who participated. In particular I want to thank Jason Spears for acting as co-coordinator and going out of his way to make sure the display was mind-blowing. Also, a big thanks to Larry P and Joe Meno for their help behind the scenes.

House of Bricks was an attempt to combine our enthusiasm for LEGO with a
sci-fi/fantasy convention. To say it was a success would be an understatement.
Several attendees and convention staff were heard saying
“the LEGO guys made the event”.
What made it a success? First and foremost
it was the people in our
community who went out of their way to make it great. But another notable
factor was the combined enthusiasm of convention-goers for imagination. Whether
it was
screaming pirates,
book authors,
gamers, artists,
comedians, or
masqueraders, there was an appreciation for all things that ‘could’ be. And in
that way, we fit perfectly with 2BeCONtinued.
House of Bricks was made possible by:
Felix Greco, coordinator
Jason Spears, co-coordinator
Jon Gilchrist,
2BeCONtinued liaison
Brian Davis,
technic/mindstorms coordinator
Steve Hassenplug, technic/mindstorms
co-coordinator couldn’t make it :(
Matthew “Pepa” De
Lanoy, space coordinator
