Ben,

I'm sure the "kid" factor was part of the large number of visitors, and the
fact that Legoworld is marketed to the general public. I think Brickfest is
more of an event for AFOLs, and like you mentioned ealier, AFOLs that read
LUGNET. I think outside of LUGNET (and a few other LEGO online forums) there
is no word of Brickfest. I find the best thing about Brickfest is just being
able to talk face to face to all the people I talk to here online.

From the pictures it looks like Legoworld was a blast and a big hit. I'm
glad it went over so well.
