Home Once More.

Brick Fair for me ended at around 2:30 PM as I had to catch the plane back to where I live and all of that good stuff, but it was a lot of fun being there.

 

I met some awesome people, got some awesome stuff and the only real downside was probably the hotel room [Our air conditioning didn't operate correctly] and we didn't get the best service, but that's not something horribly horrible, and all of the good stuff outweighed the bad stuff by a million-fold.

 

What I did on the first day was basically watch the set up, and get registered and signed in with the hotel. I got up early, so I went to bed early that night and I still don't think I missed too much from late Thursday so it was all good and stuff. The plane ride there was long and I slept for half of it and listened to some music for the rest of the flight. I was just glad to note that the airport wasn't as busy as it was back during Thanksgiving, which makes sense cuz there were no holidays going on or anything XP

 

Friday was still set-up day mostly, though I saw some of the awesome stuff and took a few pictures with my phone [We brought a camera, but forgot the charger so it was basically useless the entire time ><]. They had some neat displays around the NXT, and the MOCs brought in over where all the BIONICLE in the main room was set up were all very awesome, and I found myself spending most of my time over there, though on Friday I don't believe they were all up. I thiiiiink it was Friday when I met Disky there and it was the first time I actually remembered of the evening stuff which would be boring to go into detail about on Friday, but they were interesting while I was there in person. ^^

 

Saturday was much more fun, all of the displays were up and people were getting ready for the Public Expo which went on from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM. I actually was able to get up early enough to volunteer, and even though it was sitting in a chair and answering questions/making sure everyone who went in was authorized to actually go in, it was still fun. There were actually some interesting conversations some people started with me around 10:50 AM while they were all waiting to go inside. It was a pleasurable experience, and I was very glad I had checked everything out beforehand, or else I wouldn't have had a clue as to where things were. Though, the room looked packed from the outside, it was practically an endless stream of people going in and I couldn't believe that people weren't leaving and going upstairs [And the vendors had some amazing stuff upstairs]. I was pretty glad when people started heading up there, more because it was like 20 less stamps to look at XP.

 

I was also able to meet some of the staff [of BZPower] though being confined to a chair all day with no one around to take my spot for a bit limited that, but it was still fun IMO to be helping out and peeking into the room now and again to see if it was getting any less crowded XP

 

Sunday I was over at the BIONICLE area for most of the time as I had limited time to help around and most of the jobs were continuous through the Public Expo, but at least I did something even if it was small. Oh, and before that I went up to the vendors and got some fancy pieces for a little Halo Minifig dude, and a crazy Spartan who I never actually pieced together.

 

Some of the events I can't remember the days they were on were things like the Combo Speedbuild which was pretty interesting to watch; some of the contestants made some amazing things with the Exo-Force sets they were handed. Another of the events was the Speedbuild with the Eifle Tower [i hope I spelled that right ><]. The team I thought was going to win actually lost, but it was still pretty fun to watch them tear the box open and stuff ^^.

 

Though, I must say again, the displays were incredible and I was really glad I got the pictures I did. Once I'm able to get them online I may be able to post some of them in my blog.

 

That's basically a giant summary of what I did during Brick Fair, and I am going to try to go again next year [i would try going to Brick Con or something like that, but with school... I really can't take the time to.] There's a lot that's not there, so yeah.

 

It was crazy fun, and I got some crazy stuff and actually bought two sets at the Lego store there [Titan Mata-Nui and a Clone ship... thing that looked awesome, got Mata-Nui for the parts as I think the set itself looks bad and mismatched].

 

That's pretty much it.
