Brickworld Countdown

The count-down to Brickworld 2009 has started and we are only 20 days away from the big event! Stacy and I will be bringing our Train/Town/Harry Potter layout along again and this year we are 12.5′ x 18′. We will also be featuring MOC’s from other prominent AFoL’s such as Chris Phipson, HeatherLEGOGirl, and Brian Kescenovitz. This event will also mark the first time that Stacy, Heather, Chris, Brian, Alex, Dave, Dennis, Lee, Matija, Mark, and I will all be in the same room together. I’m not sure if that is a good or bad thing. We’re a wild bunch and anything could happen when we all get together. Make sure you stop back here to keep up with the craziness. Assuming we have wireless access at the Westin, we’ll try to post updates each day with a couple pictures.

As far as preparations go, we’re getting close to being ready. I just finished building a new ‘warehouse district’ to go near the port along with some new vehicles. As always, we are ballasting train track like mad and getting close to running out of 1×1 tiles…again. Looks like I’ll be placing another Bricklink order soon. Tonight I’m going to try and build some additional freight rolling stock as well as some town ‘enhancements’ (streetlights, stop-lights, etc.). We should also receive our parts for the ‘container swap’ and should start putting those together as well. Looks like we’ll be busy right up to the day we leave!
