Welcome Adult Fans to BrickFair 2009!

To register to attend, visit your account.

Registration for the full BrickFair weekend is aimed at adults, but many families also enjoy themselves.  The big difference, obviously, is the registration fee vs the public visitor fee.  And the two primary attractions to attending the full weekend are:

1. You get to bring MOCs to show off, and
2. You are surrounded by "your own people" 24/7 for 3 straight days.

Many registrants will get a room at the hotel, which is recommended but not required.  It enables attendees to spend all day in LEGO world, eat with LEGO people, sleep in LEGO dreams, and wake right back up to LEGO fun again.  Of course, if you are local, you have the option of staying home and driving in each day (that frees up some bucks to buy more LEGO!).

Full registration also grants attendees:

• More participating, less watching,
• Door prizes,
• The BrickFair goodie bag with program guide,
• LEGO brick badge (must register and pay by deadline),
• More games to play, like Dirty Brickster,
• May win Brickee Trophies,
• May vote on Brickee Trophies,
• Local LEGO stores may offer special deals to attendees (see stores for details),
• Seminars.

If you think BrickFair is the place for you, but you're still not sure, we recommend coming only as a public visitor your first time out.  You'll see who we are and catch a glimpse of what we do all weekend.  And we promise, you'll have a blast!  Then you'll have a better idea, for next time, if it's worth the investment for you to attend the full weekend.

We had a great time in 2008, and our plans for 2009 are simple:

• Repeat what we did in 2008,
• Tighten down the bolts a bit,
  • Smooth over registration check-in,
  • Clean up the public traffic flow,
  • Improve online trophy voting.
• Rearrange tables so all themes can play together in the Grand Ballroom,
• Group vendors together... somewhere,
• Drop the silent auction (and replace with... what?),
• Give AFOLs a surprise or two.

BrickFair '09 planning is underway.

We are fortunate to have many of the same volunteers returning next year. These guys and gals are a bit over-eager. I need to remind them that BF '09 is still 11 months away :)

We are taking all the AFOL ideas and suggestions and working them into the 2009 event. Thank you for your feedback thus far. And, as always, feel free to use the Contact Us link on the website, www.BrickFair.com.
