Brickworld…is almost here.

That’s right kiddies…Brickworld starts in only 3 days! What is Brickworld you ask? It’s a four day Adult Fan of LEGO convention held in Wheeling, IL at the Westin Chicago North Shore Hotel and Convention Center. It’s a chance for over 500 AFoL’s to geek out with friends and do nothing but LEGO-related stuff for four days! Sounds fun huh? You can even get in on the fun by stopping in for the Public Expo days on Saturday and Sunday (June 20th & 21st). Admission is just $10 for adults and $7 for kids and that gets you access to the 35,000 square feet of LEGO madness! C’mon…you know you want to stop by and hang out.

Stacy and I spent the weekend packing up our layout for Brickworld and tonight we get to hope we can cram it all into our 15 passenger mega-van (aka The ToT-LUG Love Van). It will certainly be close, but I think we packed better than we have previously so here’s hoping! We also managed to put Heather’s BeachHouse back together after an epic packaging FAIL! as shown in the picture here. It looks pretty good now and should be an awesome addition to the ToT-LUG layout.

I’ve still got a few things to take care of today (liquor store run, print out layout diagram, pack clothes, etc.), but at least the major stuff is done. Yesterday we bought snacks and a bunch of Red Bull to get us through the week. I actually feel like I am somewhat ahead of the curve this year. Last year at this time I was still building like crazy to try and fill all of our space. My how a year changes things.

The plan is to make a couple blog posts from Brickworld…assuming we have WiFi…so keep checking back here over the next few days. Til then…
