Hear ye, hear ye!

OK, I'll give up the medieval talk for just right now, but listen up anyway,
alright? ;-)

As the planning for the Brickfest evolves, I was hoping I could gather'round
some people who are planning to be there - and possibly some who are not -
and holding a minifig gathering.

What I'm suggesting is a get-together of some sort. This is in parallel to
the "Gathering of the Wise" idea that Jeff Johnston brought up a year or so
back.

The best idea seems to be a king/queen/emperor/other-head-of-state meeting -
like a United Nations meeting or some-such. Other variations could include a
villian/rogue meeting.

Just picture this:
A big meeting hall, with an enormous table, around it at least ten or twenty
of Castle World's biggest names... discussing the very fate of their realms,
perhaps cutting deals or forming alliances, bringing up good stories or
declaring war on each other! As I mentioned before, these could be the kings
and queens, or the leaders of organized crime (can't you just see Verneer
and Scar sitting in a dungeon somewhere, concocting plans to take over CW?).

Even balladeers who are not planning on being at the fest can participate,
if they wish, by sending their figs (in the mail) and dicussing with me, by
email, what they want their fig to "do".
But mostly I'm picturing a few of us - in flesh and blood - making
on-the-spot decisions, talking to each other, thinking up mutual storylines
and writing up a "discussion" for the figs, all the while taking pictures so
that the story of the meeting can be broadcasted in the, umm, appropriate
circles.

Any takers? Thoughts? Suggestions? Please do share.

(...) Hey, I don't see Grand High Overlord listed there!! ;) (...) I'd be willing to build the meeting hall if I can get a tally of the number of minifigs that will be present a few weeks before Brickfest. :) Beyond that, I can't think of anything (...)

That has a lot of potential. I think we should build a large table or hall or something - a building maybe? I can see it right now - seats for characters that will make their presence known beforehand, and standing room (maybe on balconies .. oohhh) (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Sweet idea Shiri! I'm planning on attending Brickfest for the first time this year and this "meeting of the minifigs" sounds like a great idea! (...) Oh, this is a gathering of the *wise*? Well, on second thought, maybe I won't be attending (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Great idea! I'm planning on going to Brickfest for the first time as well. As a matter of fact, unless something unforeseen happens, this will be the first time I actually meet any AFOLs in real life. I can't wait! Some of my characters could (...)

(...) Sounds good. This is what we were hoping for last year but it didn't really work out. I'm planning on being there, barring natural disaster, world war, or spontaneous road trips across the U.S. during that time. ~Nathan (24 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) OK, this just got my interest perked up and excited about Brickfest. Suddenly all of a sudden as they say..... I'll definitely attend the festivities!!! And, since I function better this way, now that I have a deadline I'll be building in (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Add me to the list of participants.. I'm not sure how many figs I'll bring or what I may have to do.. but I've been meaning to join CW for some time now.. and hopefully I will have time during the fest. I'll be bringing several new things.. (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
