    • Brickvention

    A heads up for all those Australian LEGO fans out there. I plan to attend and hope to have a blast.

    Brickvention is Australia’s own LEGO convention and it’s only a few months away!

    The 2009 Brickvention will be held over the Australia Day Long Weekend (January 24th to 25th) in Melbourne, Australia and promises to be an exciting event.

    Following on from the success of the previous years, there will be competitions, presentations, demonstrations and lots of interesting things to see and do.

    Highlights of the weekend include:

    • MOC displays (including town, modular houses, train, moonbase, and space)
    • Building competitions
    • Dirty Brickster
    • Dirty Buildster
    • Build-in-a bag
    • Timed build
    • Brickfilms
    • Brikwars
    • Trade tables

    We’re all really excited about the event and can’t wait to meet lots of other AFOLs from all over Australia and around the world.

      Oh, I see. In any case, I emailed them and asked if they will be showing films, and if they are, I offered to screen some of my films: http://www.youtube.com/legofilmer24

      Maron, you bring them, they will play them!
      The Victoria University conference facility (site of Brickvention) provides A/V equipment which will be utilized for both the keynote presentations and the screening of Brickfilms.
