More. About on par of time dedication to NMRA. Defintely more work than your
typical rtlToronto event.

Now that we know the definition of such an event, it gives me a better
understanding of the Hobby Show.

It showed a lot of different creations, which was nice.

Too widespread. As much as it's nice to have folding chairs in the areas, I think it visually detracts from the power of the booth.

See above. I think we had enough table space, but too much physical space.

Uh, that's sort of your call.

I think this is the first attempt at building a true Lego hobby community in
Southern Ontario. What was more surprising and encouraging were builders like
Derek, Jacub etc who we (well, we as in rtlToronto) don't hear from.

It was good to have regular updates--although sometimes the emails should have
had details like maps, locations etc. People are stupid and often need spoon
feeding.

No, if rtlToronto really wanted to make it our event, we would do our own. I
think CanBrick Builders sums it up quite nicely.

I think accomplishment is a good word-it is a major accomplishment to organize a
show like this. I think the event should really be a showcase of models by
individuals, but the question is, will there be more individuals coming out
showing off stuff?
The other thing is, do you want to consider Lego a hobby? After seeing the
(ahem) erotic dragon woman art next door and the tawdry BugnBots (Oh god I hate
them) display, do you really want to be associated with that?
