Re: Brickfest 2005
I was there for most of Sunday afternoon, before heading off to Wetzel's birthday celebration (OMG - he's 21 now!!!). Brickfest was a pretty amazing exhibition. Some of the most intricate and elaborate Lego constructions I have ever seen were there. Without photos (dang it - I forgot my camera!) it is hard to really appreciate the displays that were on hand. But a few of the favoriates include the 10x60 foot Lego train display, the pieces of pixelated artwork made of thousands of 1x1 Lego blocks, the six-foot tall yellow-and-black Moonbase display, the "Angel" sculpture made of 8600 pure white bricks, the four-foot-tall detailed Homer Simpson, and the 10-foot long 1/100 scale Japanese destroyer model complete with interior details.
Some of the other attractions included a looping series of Lego movies (all the characters and scenery are Lego). There was also a constantly-running series of FIRST Lego League and Lego Robo-Sumo demonstrations. In all, it was a lot of fun, and a great way to see just how creative people can be with those little plastic bricks.
