Brickfair 2009 News


Black Six

536 views

I just got an email from Todd Webb, the awesome guy that runs BrickFair that I thought I'd pass on to you:

Jan 13th 2009

 

Some AFOLs may have shied away from BF'08, not sure of this name "BrickFair" or the Todd Webb guy running the show. But after we hosted 402 AFOLs and entertained 10,000+ public visitors in 2008, there should be no doubt that BrickFair is a blast.

 

BrickFair 2009 is coming this summer!

 

Our grand theme this year is FOOD & DRINK. We invite you to build anything FOOD & DRINK related. We'll have a special trophy and cool prizes especially for the FOOD & DRINK category. MOCs can be custom-built for the FOOD & DRINK theme, or you can modify a pre-existing MOC, such as turning a train car into a Bar-Car. FOOD & DRINK MOCs will not all be huddled together -- you'll see them wherever they land in the show.

 

STEAMPUNK comes to BrickFair 2009. Shilo Parker alerted us to this oversight :( He is our STEAMPUNK theme leader in 2009 and will be showing his own creations. So if you're a STEAMPUNK fan, and we missed you last year, we're ready for you now!

 

The BOARD GAME theme returns by popular demand. We hope to see some great new stuff here. We're also expecting a great showing in APOCALEGO. Stay tuned for more.

 

Of course, all the usual suspects will be there: Bionicle, Space, Train, Vignette, Mindstorms, Great Ball Contraption, Moonbase and more.

 

Registration for BrickFair 2009 is open now, and folks are already signing up. So register now to attend, and start building!

 

See you at BrickFair '09!

Todd Webb

First off, congrats to Shilo (Omicron) for being the Steampunk coordinator. I look forward to the show.

 

Next, and this is small, but important I think: "Bionicle, Space, Train, Vignette, Mindstorms, Great Ball Contraption, Moonbase and more." Notice who's first on that list, and it's not alphabetical either. I told you we stole the show last year. And we have every intention of a repeat performance this year.

 

Only a few (long) months to go!

Alright! I just want to go this year and (potentially) hang with the staff and stuff like that.

I overheard Todd on Saturday saying something about moving Bionicle to the area around the bar. Or I didn't. I heard something about the Bionicle section and the bar.

But I didn't quite feel like starting a debate on Bionicle.

But anyway, I think I'll mention it to him now.

 

Right at the entrance was great. Don't you think we should all be there again?

We were so awesome.

You weren't there for the whole show; it was a nightmare at times dealing with all those people. I liked having the prime real estate, but maybe we can let someone else get swarmed this year.

The Bionicle section will be the bar.

Todd told me Bionicle might move to the main place. And you have a point about not being right there up front. Ultimately it'll be between him and the Bionicle theme coordinator. (And yes I know who that is, but can I say who?)
