Well, since I've been brought up in this, I'm gonna take the liberty to give
a few opinions. ;)
First off, I understand you all are enthusiastic about this, and I don't
want to rain on your parade, but consider the practicalities of your ideas.
How practical would a Teen Brickfest be? First, there wouldn't be very many
attending (less than the last year's regular Brickfest - which teens
attended - for sure) and parents would have to travel too, adding cost and
making it more prohibitive. I just don't see something like that as
practically happening. If you have a club in your area without an age
restriction, just join it and try to get other teens to join, and hang out
there.

I doubt you'll get a GATS show for a TeenLTC, because really, there'll be
fewer per geographical area and you will have significantly less budget than
a club of AFOLs. Again, I really feel bad raining on your parade, but I
don't want to see you get your hopes way up by having these ideas build and
build (no pun intended) and having to be let down.
And, I can't really help out, because I'm really busy with school and other
LEGO things. Sorry.

Meetings? Unless you are making this a Michigan thing, its really not
local, so its very hard to have something like this happen. Alex Kaiser
tried a KidLUG a while back, and from waht I recall it never really went
anywhere because of the spread out geographical area. I suggest focusing on
local LEGO clubs, getting the kids to go online and perhaps get LUGNET
groups for them. Maybe if you wanna get a few local LEGO clubs of kids
together for a special regional event, do that. But anything on a larger
scale just seems too impractical to me.
My two studs...
