Let me all fill you in.
(Scene: Calum's cubicle, March 2000. Calum presses the Chris Magno button
on his rtlToronto Global Ops Command Hotline Phone *(aka his desk phone) and
calls Chris.)
Calum: Hey Chris. It's me. Don't you think it's a great idea to do a
BrickFest in Canada? Some guys are doing it in like, Virginia of all
places. We should do one too. We could make t-shirts!
Chris: Can't talk. (explosion in background) I'm doing a show. (chainsaw
sound, screaming)
Calum: (ignores part about can't talk) So, what do you think? We could
make shirts!
Chris: Sounds like too much work to me. (Backstreet Boys pulling each
others hair out in background) Forget about it.
Calum: Aw man! But what about the shirts?

I think so. I'm thinking the Valdi Hospitality Centre in Woodbridge :)

Of course, those are the same people who think the words "Four Bar Motion"
are some sort of universal puzzle....but anyways. Yes, this sounds so far
very much like a double rtlToronto event so far.

Hrm. Never thought about this one before. That would be really cool!
Something for people to show off

That sounds about right.

That certainly sounds like an rtlToronto event.
What about seminars and workshops? Something about...robotics design? A
new programming language like pbForth? Successfully using ebay? Does
anyone care? Does anyone like these things? Is this too much like BrickFest?

Yup, that sounds about right as well.
