AFOL: A blocumentary

I remember a few days ago, Karrde posted a link to this very interesting Lego documentary on his Facebook account. Since it's been featured on TBB and in Flickr Group discussions all over since, here it is featured on Brickspace.

The documentary, or 'blocumentary', includes interviews with several AFOLs, ending up with them showing off their skills at BrickCon 2009. So, though it's 30 minutes long (way way too long for a short film, if the director Jess Gibson actually wants to show it in festivals), just keep watching and you'll get to see Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj) talking about his 'whimsical style' at the end. Though it may be slow, it's worth it for that and just to inform yourself a little more. Enjoy!

BrickWorld 2009 Coming Soon!

As some of you readers may notice BrickWorld 2009 is less than a month a way and there is only one day left to register and be guaranteed a goody bag and name badge. It is now approaching its third year and will be in the Westin Hotel just outside of Chicago and all registered attendees will also be given up to a %20 discount at the LEGO Store during the special LEGO Store event.

In other news regarding BrickWorld members can participate in fun activities including collaborative displays like the Pirate Display, Great Ball Contraption and the new MicroPolis collaboration. There will also be plenty of contests and even a raffle.

BrickWorld has also announced that Board of Directors member Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and CEO/Chief Executive Officer Jørgen Vig Knudstorp will be attending the convention and bringing the LEGO spirit with them. I'm sure John will be more than pleased by that announcement.

I will be attending as a registered attendee and sharing hundreds of photos that will be shown on this site and an even larger gallery will be available on my Flickr Stream.

Until the event in a little less than a month enjoy some photos from BrickWorld 2008.




And on June 18 look for the first of five posts all dedicated to the convention.
Photos will be from June 18, June 19, June 20, June 21, and a final post to wrap up the convention.
