Hi Frank, Just wanted to let you know that my NLS, Jackie and I were the couple that played Colin and Wanda's ship for the first part of the pirate game. I collect, and brought two small buildings of mine for the Castle area. :-) Thanks for running (...)

I heard that you guys were going to try and run BrikWars games at the Brickfest, but I haven't seen any mention of them in the postmortems - I take it they weren't a big hit? I was interested to see how (or if) the game worked out, since as far as I (...) (26 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug, lugnet.gaming)

The money I spent for Brickfest was definitely worth it. I didn't spend too much since I drove down from Baltimore every day, but I guess $60 for gas, tolls, and food, not counting $100 or so spent on 2 T-shirts and LEGO purchases. I wouldn't mind (...)

(...) I think so. When I was deciding to go, I sort of spread the cost of Brickfest across savings I had made earlier in the year, such as Mindfest (which I went to free on frequent flier tickets) and prom (~$120 paid by my mom (for tux & entrance).
