  Brickfest thanks
 
Hello everyone from WAMALUG, It was a lot of fun to meet everyone at BrickFest and meet many more AFOLs. Now I don't feel so bad about buying $50 worth of LEGOs on eBay. :) Some of you people are INSANE! I LIKE it! I wish I had gone to the mad (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)
 
  Re: Brickfest thanks
 
(...) I want thank everyone who took the time to take photos and put them up for others to see who weren't able to make it -- especially the ones showing people having fun talking in groups, building in piles of LEGO, and playing the pirate game. It (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)
 
  Re: Brickfest thanks
 
(...) Seconded all the way around! I would have loved to have come as well but with getting ready for the baby and what seems like 100 other things going on right now I couldn't make it. Now next year the baby will still be... a baby so I don't know (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug, lugnet.org.us)

  Re: Brickfest thanks
 
(...) Maybe next year we should try to host one here in New England. I'll bet TCS would be willing to work with us for a shopping day, we could try to get a guided tour of the Enfield facility (they might do it, for an organized group...)

  Re: Brickfest thanks
 
(...) Yep, I was the only one there from MA, IIRC. Unless you count Tim who'll be moving here next year. -Shiri P.S. If you'll be hosting a fest next year, I hope you won't restrict age. There were people at the fest as young as 14, younger if you (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug, lugnet.org.us)
 
  Re: Brickfest thanks
 
(...) While I think the Enfield trip would be cool, and it actually has been brought up several times at meetings, I don't know if we should try a brickfest event. This is only because I think at the moment 1 is probably enough and Washington DC is (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

  Re: Brickfest thanks
 
(...) I'd have to disagree with the "esay money" comment. If it's a two day show, you spend two full days at the show, including set-up and tear down. That's $150 for the club (in our case about 15 people). Two days of my time is worth a bit more (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug, lugnet.org.us)
 
  Re: Brickfest thanks
 
(...) I agree Kevin that the money isn't going to make you rich, but it's nice to help pay for club items, like tables, flyiers and other things. It's definatly not going to cover your time.
