Brickworkz LEGO mosaics : Blog : Planning the Year Planning the YearI spent most of this month preparing for 2007, particularly planning which events I would choose to have a Brickworkz presence. I think I've picked them out now, but am still looking forward to spontaneity. BrickFest This is the first year in many that an East coast-based Brickfest won't be held. I was very disappointed in that. Last year's Brickfest was a great time for everyone, save a few of the organizers. From what I've been able to determine, politics and in-fighting over rights sucked the joy from the event. The only people who suffer from that are: everybody else. I'm not picking sides. After all, that's what happened to get things to this point thus far. What I will do is try and be a part of as many LEGO events as I can, because I believe in the bigger mission of these events- to have fun, to share ideas and to enjoy seeing what fellow fans of LEGO have created. Unfortunately, the cost of getting mosaics out to Oregon and staying for around a week are too prohibitive. Things might have worked out, but Brickfest was announced too late for me to plan adequately. I am still hoping to help out through sponsorship and other means. More on that soon.
I'm also planning to host a presentation for mosaic building. It ought to be a great way to give back to the LEGO community. I am also really looking forward to another Chicago trip. It's one of my favorite cities. Brickworld is going to be held in a larger space than last year's Brickfest, which I already thought was big. Turns out, it wasn't big enough. Vendors (like yours truly) were put in a completely separate area from the general public when the weekend was held. This year at Brickworld, they are going to put everyone together.
Another thing on the horizon is a LEGO display down in Disney World this fall. Details are still being worked on, but this might be a ton of fun, fantastic exposure for Brickworkz, and a great relationship-building event with two of my favorite companies: Disney and LEGO. I hope to repeat the baby & child expo venues I attended last year. Last year's expo was great local exposure for the company. I recently toured the larger Richmond Baby expo and was really impressed. It's on my mental docket for 2008.
