BrickFest photos from 2004!
BrickFest is a convention for adult fans of Lego that happens every year in Arlington, Virgina, just outside of DC.
This year's BrickFest is August 12-14. On Sunday is an open house where the public is invited in to check out the incredible creations people have on display.

When I was a kid I used to love to stack blocks as high as possible. Heck, I still like to stack blocks as high as possible, and the more precarious the better.
Four Juniors at DigiPen Institute of Technology, a university a few blocks from Microsoft's and Nintendo America's headquarters that specializes in the fine art of video games, took the block stacking concept and turned it into an awesome multiplayer game called Bontăgo.
You probably need a good computer for this game, as it looks great, and the physics engine is superb. I've only played against the computer, but when I go home this weekend I plan on challenging my brothers and sister to a block-stacking duel.
Bontăgo is a free download.
BrickFest, the LEGO convention & model display, is returning to the Washington, DC area August 13-15, 2004.
If you were into LEGO as a child, or just want to see some massively incredible creations, you need to sign up now.
While kids are welcome, this is mostly an adult thing, with competitions, information sessions, LEGO-made stop-action animations, and lots of awesome Mindstorm, Technic, Space, Train, Castle, and other creations built with LEGO bricks.

Are you into Legos? The unofficial annual Lego conference BrickFest 2003 is returning soon to Arligton, Virigina (just outside of Washington, DC and about a mile from where I live) August 8th-10th.
Here's some of the things planned for this year:
Hope to see you there too. Cost is $40. Sorry no kids, you must be over 18.
