Hi all,
Just one quick little nitpick on the front page announcement: "there's a Brickfest (or Brickfest scale) AFOL meeting twice a year, every year!" Our European members will remind us that Legoworld (I think that's the name) in Amsterdam (again, I can easily bear correction) is pretty darn big itself. There are also other large fests, like NWBrickCon, etc.
Nitpicking aside, I wish I could be there. Have fun everyone! Everyone be sure to greet my sig fig, who will be hanging out in the castle display.

Brickfest PDX this weekend
Re: Brickfest PDX this weekend
Thank you. On could even argue "pretty darn big" is an understatement. Last year we've recieved 40.000 paying visitors. Ofcourse they are not only AFOL's, it's a real family event, so we entertain a lot of juvenile fans also. On top of that, participating to the event is free for all voluntiers, exhibitors and presentation-organisers.Bruce N H wrote:Our European members will remind us that Legoworld (I think that's the name) in Amsterdam (again, I can easily bear correction) is pretty darn big itself.
The LEGOWORLD event takes place in the "IJsselhallen" exhibition complex in the town of Zwolle, but being such a small country, to American driving standards it's not far from Amsterdam: only 110km.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
