wow....congrats Jude....your post has gone "World Wide".... that is it has
made it to Lugnet Home Page (highlighting top stories!!!)
very sweet!!!

I like the FTX design....nice and starting to look good.
Hmmmm....Calum, do you think we can make Jude the Web Co-ordinator???

hmmmm....just a thought ;-)

         ***

For this early (planning phase).....

we need to come with a consensus to a name (to market the event)
So far Snow Brick, and Brick North are probably early favorites....
so do we have some sort of (crude) voting system?

We have at least 2 websites we can use Jude's FTX site for internal uses,
and Calum's Peachy Server for external uses... so that is looking good.

Looks like a few people have some good ideas for hosting...as far as
Toronto goes (hosting it in Toronto DOES expand the choices for the event,
and also gives flexibility....)

         ***

I think Chris posted an article on that most of the events could run
themselves, and Calum replied that we could use some workshops....
hey its not a multi-day, large-scale event without workshops :)

So I think we have somewhat of a consensus on the events....

1. Robotics Competition (Robotics 11??)

2. Train (and Town!!!) Display (Train 5??)

3. BrickWarZ Competition (BrickWarz 3??)

4. Castle Display (diorama - Eric deGuili and others)

5. Space Display??? (possibly Jude and his Ice Planet 2002, hmmmm)

6. Market Place-style MOC display (Chris Magno's input to the discussion).

7, 8. I think the original Brickfest (sm), also had a "historical section" and
a Pirate Game.... those could be open to further discussion and
those brave enough to run the events for them....

(...) I think I'll keep all official announcements onto Peachy mainly because that's the official rtlToronto site. Calum (25 years ago, 21-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

Hello, It looks like we may eventually have a Canadian LEGO Festival. Currently things are in the extremely early stages, but I want to see this happen, so I am going for a wide audience. I have created an FTX page to further my reflections on this (...) (25 years ago, 21-Aug-01, to lugnet.events, lugnet.announce) !!
