Welcome to Brick Fiesta 2013

Mega Update

May 31st is the last day to get an engraved badge and guarantee correct t-shirt size

This is the last day to get your membership and be guaranteed to get your name and city/state engraved on your brick badge.  Also, this is the last day to guarantee that we can get you a Brick Fiesta t-shirt in the size you want.

 

Please register before midnight on May 31st to guarantee these personalized goodies!

 

 

Badge and t-shirt information

 

If you’ve gotten a membership but haven’t seen an email from customer.support@brickfiesta.com asking for additional information from you, then send an email to that address and we’ll get it sorted out.  Perhaps the email got lost in translation or got put in a spam folder (oh no!).  In any case, just email customer.support@brickfiesta.com.
 

Events, Games, and Social Stuff

 

There’s now a page on the Brick Fiesta website that has the events we can confirm at the moment.  More are coming.  We are still working on the actual daily schedule, but this should give you a good idea of what’s going to be at the con.

 

Some events have special rules, so check this page to know what you’ve got to have ahead of time!

 

 

Contests

 

I want to call out the contests that are on the events page.  Right now, we can announce 3 of them:

 

MOC Awards – Best MOC in a given category.  Winners will be voted on.

 

Scenery Vignette – John Gondol is hosting a scenery vignette contest.  Check out the events page on the website for additional information and rules.  If you want to enter this contest choose the “Vignette” theme when you register your MOC.

 

Bling Your Badge – Trick out your Brick Fiesta badge and show it off.  Mike Taylor will be hosting this thing!

 

 

Speakers

 

We have several speakers lined up.  A few of them are currently on the events page.  If there’s a topic that interests you and you want to share it, then email event.coordinator@brickfiesta.com to be a speaker!

 

MOC Registration is OPEN

 

Yes, MOC registration is now open.  Head to the Brick Fiesta website and click the “MOC Registration” link under the “2013 Brick Fiesta” menu item.

 

We encourage group displays, but you certainly don’t have to.  If you want a group layout for your general location (I know the Houston guys are already thinking of one) or your specific theme, then step up and coordinate it.  If you are the coordinator for a group layout, then get in touch with event.coordinator@brickfiesta.com.

 

There’s two really important things to think about when you register your MOC:

 

Theme –  Like past years we will have awards given to those MOCS that are the best in their category (voted on, of course); and the theme you choose for your MOC is the theme that it will be judged in!

 

Group Layout – Decide if you’d like your MOC as part of a group layout.  This will help the people who are coordinating a layout know what MOCs they need to be worried about for the display.

 

 

Sponsors

 

Check out the sponsors that are helping to support Brick Fiesta!  Please check them out, they’re helping to make the con a reality.

 

 

Vendors

 

Similar to the sponsors, there’s a page on the brick fiesta website where you can view the current set of vendors for the convention, with links to their pages.

 

 

Please send any questions to customer.support@brickfiesta.com.

Registration is Now OPEN!

I’m sure you are just as excited as we are! It’s finally here! Brick Fiesta 2013 registration is now open. We have some big things happening behind the scenes for this years event. How big is it? Big enough to fill a CONVENTION CENTER! After all EVERYTHING is BIGGER in Texas. So come over to the Dallas area and spend Fourth of July weekend with your fellow AFOL. We will be having it at Hampton Suites & Convention Center Mesquite in Mesquite, TX. Below we have included some quick links to the important things so be sure to check those out. We look forward to seeing you and can’t wait to see what you build and bring!

To attend the full convention as a full member by yourself or with your family, display MOCs, attend events, and get a badge and t-shirt, then grab an All Access Membership.

If you just want to see what others have built, then attend the convention with a Public Exhibition Membership.

There is a hotel attached to the convention center, if you wish to have a place that’s not far from the LEGO festivities.  They are offering a special rate to people who are attending Brick Fiesta!  Grab the special rate for your room while they last (before June 15).

The Mesquite rodeo is just across the street from Brick Fiesta, and will be going on the same days as Brick Fiesta.  During your stay if you want to check out the rodeo or the surrounding Dallas area there is much to see and do nearby.

In order to be a vendor at the convention check out the Vendor page for table information and registration.

To be a Brick Fiesta sponsor, visit the Sponsor page.

Note: MOC registration will open closer to the event this year. We will announce it on Twitter, Facebook, and of course on this site. Stay Tuned.
