BrickCon 2007 ~ Seattle WA
by: |QKO| FluidG Oct 9, 2007
I attended this year's Brickcon 07 - and let me say it didn't disappoint. I finally went head-to-head, toe-to-toe with the great Keith Goldman (pic below). After we entered ninjistic-combat in the crowd of lego revellers, Keith fell in battle... then sucker-punched me in the groin. After that was over, I reviewed his huge diorama, the "Omicron Weekend". It was apparent that KeithLUG was in full swing. Keith granted me with the following:
- A lifetime membership in the Las Vegas chapter of KeithLUG.
- A soundtrack CD with 20 songs celebrating the "Omicron Weekend".
- A KeithLUG symbolic lego monkey with red hook which had a weird odour.
- A KeithLUG t-shirt; which sadly was given away very early Saturday morning at the base of the space needle to a buxom young woman who's primary employment is staffing the local McDonald's Drive-thru window. After all... Keith does love the smell of processed breakfast meat on his women.
- And... he gave my son a minifig directly from his diorama to which was ultra-coolio ;-)

Highlighted by popular demand, "When the Kraken Awakes" was built by my son and I over a period of 8 months in 2006. Click the image below to jump to more photos and gripping backstory. It has Animation! It has Sound Clips! Woot!

The ultra-hip Conspiracy Shag Wagon was custom crafted to attract the crowd, bring them in close, detect their true belief system, and if enemies are found, vaporize them on site.

Getting troops around in such tight combat settings required a vehicle that could move quick, have extreme armor and pack a punch. The Whirlwind Artillery Tank and Troop Transport was created for such purposes.
