Intro
After last week's brief update I thought maybe I should give you guys an actual update. (Although the minimalist thing seemed to go over well.)
Updates
So, BrickFair was already like a week away, and everyone who was there is now sad that it's over. We're all still very tired too, and are slowly going through our pictures. Thanks to this thing called a job, I've yet to sort any of my 939 pictures yet, let alone do any editing. This weekend, I hope.
We did get some coverage up, however: go check out The Bionicle Mosaic Project, lovingly brought to you by Nukaya and ChocolateFrogs. They both did so much work organizing this, that they really deserve a big pat on the back. I hope we do this again in the future, because I had a lot of fun helping out and the final products were amazing to look at! Maddison and Benjamin - you guys rock!
Anyway, look for more BrickFair coverage throughout the month sometime.
While the above event was going on, Emzee was in Austin, Texas at a LEGO Store Grand Opening. While we missed him not being at BrickFair, at least he had some LEGO in his weekend!
The fun doesn't stop though, because Star Wars Celebration V is going on right now, and LEGO is there in Force (get it, 'Force'?)! Steve Witt can't catch a break, but that's ok, because he's awesome and can handle it.
Speaking of Steve Witt, we made him an honorary staff member! Steve is a huge part of the LEGO online community and, as such, BZPower, so it's only fair that we show him the respect and honor he deserves for all the hard work he does. We love you Steve!
Digressing back to other LEGO events, there's a cool exhibit going on right now in the National Building Museum in Washington DC. I wish we had had time to check it out during BrickFair, but it was a little far away and our schedule was already so packed.
Today the Winter Village Bakery was announced. It looks like a great little set with a lot of awesome little details.
Finally, you should go click this link and go vote for what LEGO pieces you'd like to see in certain colors. Your voice counts, honest!

2. I would taste delicious.
3. Yes.
4. 100% sure.
5. I would know you to be lying.

Conclusion
It's almost time to finally catch up on some sleep, then more unpacking and getting settled in from vacation this weekend. Hopefully productive things will be done. See you all around - feel free to leave comments and such, as always.
