Re: Lego Conventions

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure BrickFest was in Oregon, but it has been cancelled until further notice.

Old animations here New stuff coming soon here Or stalk me on Twitter

Re: Lego Conventions

It's been cancelled the past 2 years, and I don't think it's coming back. mini/sad On their site they link to a Canadian convention.

Re: Lego Conventions

I've attended BrickCon, a Seattle convention, once and it was an amazing experience. I met people I'd been "internet friends" with for years, admired magnificent creations in first person, and got plenty of swag.

It's a pretty great feeling to be around so many people who understand you in that way only other AFOLs (or TFOLs, I suppose) can.

Re: Lego Conventions

This year we're going to be attending Bricks By The Bay as official attendees, and we will even be showing off models from "The Squire and the Scroll."  mini/bigsmile So if you live anywhere near the convention location and that date is open, let us know if you're coming and we'll keep an eye out for you!

Re: Lego Conventions

There are plenty of them spread around the US, you just have to wait for one to come near you.

Edit: Brickfair is on the East coast, in Virginia.

Yeah, when I was in elementary school one of my friends used dynamite to blow up another kid. He thought it would be funny, just like in Looney Toons, but it was really tragic and messed up his life forever. People need to be way more careful about the cartoons they show to kids. -Jargon
