The BrickCon 2012 Presentation/Session/Activity schedule is being
finalized this weekend before the program goes to press, so if you'd like
to give a talk/moderate a roundtable/run an activity I need a title,
description, and requirements by September 15, this Saturday.
Also due this Saturday are Audio/Visual stuff associated with a
presentation (such as PowerPoint presentations, videos, or projected
images) which need to go to Nicole, our AV master. Contact me for her
e-mail.
Relatedly, the Virtual LEGO Room Tour, hosted by Carlyle Livingston, will
be returning to BrickCon this year.

Basically, this will be a roundtable where people bring pictures of their
Lego storage/build/sorting areas and do a show and tell. Since
those are projected images they will also need to be taken and sent to
Nicole by the end of Saturday.
BrickCon is an annual adult Lego fan convention and exhibition in Seattle
since 2002. BrickCon 2012 will be October 4, 5, 6, and 7 at the Seattle
Center Exhibition Hall and Northwest Rooms

The deadline to submit proposals for sessions at BrickCon 2011 is Wednesday,
September 7. Earlier submissions are better and more likely to be scheduled at
a preferred time (for example, not during the scheduled meal breaks 12-1 and
6-7:30 each day).
Sessions already scheduled include a LEGO Ambassador Q&A, a chat with LEGO
designer Pierre Normandin, drafts (sets 7346 and 4182), a film fest, a Dirty
Brickster, the Wacky Race and many more.
Past sessions that no one has yet expressed an interest in running this year
include the Landscaping Roundtable, the Virtual LEGO Room Tour, packaing MOCs,
and others.
If you would like to run a session at BrickCon this year please send a proposal
to Thomas Garrison as soon as possible. Include a title, a brief description
suitable for inclusion in the program, facilities requirements, and any schedule
limitations.
BrickCon is an annual convention and exhibition for adult fans of LEGO at the
Seattle Center in Seattle,Washington, the first weekend of October. BrickCon
2011 will be September 29--October 2. Registration is limited to 500, 272 of
whom have already registered.

Hi Ben,
Another person in the right neighborhood. Odd how that works.

Wow! Good to hear from you after all these years. I’ll never forget the
sight of your monster ship packed up in sections and squashed into the
back of your car at Brickfest ;-)
|
The ship is still in existence. Rubbermaid actually now makes a bin that’s
something like 55 gallons, which can actually hold sections. But yeah,
transportation sucked.
| |
You can still contact me about roller bearings when you want ;-) (note my
email address in the heading is wrong - see my website for the right one)
|
Aw, rats, I cannot remember our roller bearing discussion relative to your
crane. Are you out there in Pacifica somewhere? I think we’re hooked up via
facebook at this point.

Welcome back, Lindsay!
Between the Truman
and the Yamato, you’ve
finally got some competition! Hope to see another of your big ships one day.

Indeed. I’ve followed Jumpei’s work and I’ve seen the carrier, as well as the
new Queen Mary. Good stuff, all around. Ed diment’s marvelous HMS Hood
(http://www.brothers-brick.com/2008/10/12/hms-hood-is-finished/) is also super
inspirational. (But I maintain that you need interior detail to really
COUNT...haha)
The next major modern ship looks to be Fuso, which will be not too much longer
but significantly wider. I’ve had the parts, just need to tear down the old
beast first.
