Well, I've been looking at the pics of Friday's Brickfest activities on
Brickshelf, and checking out the webcams, and I'm jealous! I wanna go too!

How about a Brickfest Northwest? Anyone in Seattle up for organising
something like this? I don't think there are enough of us in Vancouver to
pull it off yet.

(...) <snip> I think this sounds like a darn fine idea. Can anyone involved with Brickfest either post some pointers, or just email me with your thoughts and what kinds of efforts are involved? ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
  Re: How about a Brickfest West?
 
I think you should have posted to the California groups too ;-) I'd be interested in traveling up to WA for a large meeting. Then again, it might make better sense to hold it down in Carlsbad ;-) (...) -- Tom Stangl ***(URL) Visual FAQ home ***(URL) (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

(...) I am *so* there. Anything I can feasably drive to gets my vote, and Seattle is a feasable drive from Edmonton. (at least, compared to D.C.!) James "has a different idea of reasonable drive than most" Brown (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
  Re: How about a Brickfest West?
 
(...) I really wish that someone could organize something in a more central location. A place where people from a very large area would be able to make the drive if they wanted to attend. Being in Colorado, I am partial to a location like Denver, (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
  Re: How about a Brickfest West?
 
Hey all, I have been kicking this idea around myself, especially since the mech builders who didn't make it to BrickFest were so jazzed about attending BrickFest next year. I even solicited a few e-mail responses about it. Here are some of my ideas: (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
  Re: How about a Brickfest West?
 
Brickfest NW?? YES PLEASE!!! I think you would either need to have it as late as October or wait until January. The November-December time frame is usually pretty full for most people. Also you (we?) would be paying a premium for any type of event (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
  Re: How about a Brickfest West?
 
Definitely. I'm with my fellow Canucks and prefer a location farther north like Seattle. Driving/flying to southern California is time consuming and costly. And I agree that January would be a better time. ~Adam (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
  Re: How about a Brickfest West?
 
(...) I haven't read all the posts yet, so someone else may have already mentioned this... Denise floated the idea of Brickfest when WAMALUG had 4 members. Some things to think about in chosing venues: - At least 2 good sized rooms (the trainiacs (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
  Re: How about a Brickfest West?
 
(...) Just a few thoughts on some of the various ideas being played with-- Having just come from Brickfest, I'd have to say that I'd definitely go again. It was well worth it, even if it did take a combined 20 hours in the car to get there and back. (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
  Re: How about a Brickfest West?
 
Sounds Like a Great idea! I'd be happy to contribute whatever I could to such an event. I think as far as location goes, Seattle is by far THE best choice. It is fairly central to all of western north america. It isn't much of a drive from anywhere (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
