Topic: LEGO
The lone Jerk single-handedly battles the silence...So how was Brickfest, you ask? Madness:
About 1500 people showed up for the public expo on Sunday, and while they were impressed with our LEGO nerd skillz, they had little to say for our personal hygiene:
Speaking of public day, the .space room was quite popular and without proper ventilation, prompting me to remark to Teddy "This place smells like a men's locker room." Overhearing me, a soccer mom had this to say. "This is nothing, you should go to the robot-room, I don't think those people bathe."Going to Brickfest is always a nice reality check for me. Sometimes I think my preoccupation with LEGO is a little nutty, but at Brickfest you meet people who need trailers to bring all their creations, or who are having archive-sized tracked shelving installed in their homes to store their LEGO collection. And sometimes, you see things like this.
If you would like to learn more about Brickfest, you can check out my pictures here; read a Post article about the event; or watch a Danish news segment (it's story #7).
