You probably won’t see updates nearly as frequently from Josh and me for the next week and a half or so. Our LEGO time is being eaten up by projects for NWBrickCon. For a preview of what I’m working on, head over to my Work in Progress folder on Flickr. Leave a comment and help me improve my creations!

With just a few short weeks left before the con, Mark Neumann has announced an impromptu “Mecha City Project” for NWBrickCon.
Read all about it over on Mecha Hub, and contact Mark if you’re interested (he tells you how in his MH post).

Phew! I finally registered for NWBrickCon, the annual west-coast LEGO convention held here in Seattle. This year it’s at Seattle Center on October 6, 7, and 8. I’m not sure what I’ll be building for the convention, but time is running short, so I better go on it.
For being the “smaller” convention (compared to the recently concluded BrickFest), it sounds like this year’s NWBrickCon will be a great success. Looking at the list of potential attendees (you can register on the site without making a commitment to attend, thus “potential”), I’m seeing many familiar names. Conference registration for all three days is $44.
There are also times when the show floor is open to the public, for a very reasonable $5. (For those of you reading this in Redmond, stop by my office for a coupon that’ll get you in the door for $4.)
I’ve worked in the neighborhood where the conference is held until recently, so I know all the best places to hang out and grab a bite to eat. I’d love to get together with our readers. See you all in October!

So NWBrickCon is going on two blocks away from where I’m sitting as I type this, but I won’t be able to go. The weekend also looks chock full of house-hunting activities, so I won’t be showing up for the public display times either. Oh well…
