What: BrickFest 2000
When: June 9-11, 2000
Where: Washington DC, USA
Web : http://brickfest.com
...This is an across the boards announcement about the upcoming BrickFest!!! Less than two
weeks to go!
...The BrickFest will include a train/town display, a castle display, CastleWorld stuff,
mindstorms demos and competitions, brikwars, pirate wars, workshops and seminars, lots of
building, shopping with Buffie at The LEGO Store at Potomac Mills, building competitions,
historical set displays, chats, and getting to know all the other fans out there.
...Registration, directions, hotel information, and soon a better schedule are all
available at http://brickfest.com. We encourage everyone who thinks they may be able to
make it to fill out the registration form so we can try planning.
...Please register soon so we can get a count of people!
...We also are looking for anyone who wants to give a presentation or workshop on just
about any topic! If you want to add to the list, email to info@wamalug.org.
...Workshops currently planned include:
Minifig and brick customization/defamation
Castle Architecture and modeling tricks
DCC Conversion - Making LEGO DCC Compatible presentation and demo
Train detailing
Stop motion animation and LEGO
...If you have a larger than 'normal' display (a very general term!) that you are bringing
(like if one of the LTCs wants to set up a small train display independent of the 'room of
trains'), or if you have a special display, email to info@wamalug.org so we can make sure
to set aside room.
...Displays we have online for the fest include:
Historical display of the 'supercars'
Display of classic sets from the 70s and 80s
LEGO Animation Display and equipment
A DCC converted train display
...We are also planing lots of events from brikwars to building contests! If you want to
run an event, drop a line to info@wamalug.org.
...Planned events include:
Random building in the building room (we will be providing lots of excess bricks so you
don't have to bring your entire collection!)
BrikWars Fantasy and Space warfare
Evil Stevie's Pirate Game
CastleWorld stories
Mindstorms competitions (check http://www.bussetech.com/lego/mindstorms/ for basic idea)
Themed building competitions (with prizes! (like Store stuff!))
...If you have a camera, bring it! The best pictures from the fest will be collected for a
virtual tour of the BrickFest! (and we may request a dupe or two of the physical picture
(if a film camera) so we can have a physical album too).
...Lastly, if you are coming and want to share a room with others, email info@wamalug.org.
We will attempt to link up ppl with rooms and ppl looking for rooms before the fest if we
can (there will likely be a sign-up sheet at the fest for any last minute room sharing).
...See you at the fest!
(sorry for cross posting so much, but was afraid too many people didn't read
lugnet.announce (bad people!!))
...you can go back to ignoring me now...
