(...) Where did you hear that? Most of the prizes were donated by the LEGO Outlet Store at Potomac Mills. A few were donated by Denise. Even the T-shirts were advanced out of pocket by Denise. WAMALUG doesn't have that much money. KL (26 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

I think I would vote for a week earlier or later in June also, as June 15 is my NLS's birthday. Birthdays are rather big events in her family, and I doubt that I'd be able to go to Brickfest without dire 'reaper'-cussions. :-) -Andy Lynch ----- (...)

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?

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).
