Bricks Cascade 2021 threw a grand picnic instead of a full LEGO convention—a Bricknic! What led to the decision, how did it go, and why is gathering in person so important to the community?

Read MoreBrickvention is Australia's premier LEGO fan event and is typically held each January. As a founding and former member of the organizing team behind the event, it holds a special place in my heart. It started in 2006 after the Australian AFOL community on LUGNET requested a regular event in their own country—quite the task at the time. With humble beginnings of fewer than 50 AFOLs in attendance, Brickvention has since become a popular event for Australian AFOLs and regularly attracts local and international visitors.

As soon as I finish typing this I'm hopping in the shower and packing up the swag. It's time to head to BricksLA! I'm very excited that Mrs. BrickNerd is joining me this year (her first time). We'll see you there!
Another year of Brickworld has come and gone, but the memories and photos remain for us to share with you. The BrickNerd crew had another showing this year at what is one of the largest if not the largest LEGO convention in North America.
There was a little something for everyone at this year's convention including a massive WWII battleship, an abandoned amusement park, some very cool life-sized video game replicas, and even a mecha Duplo bunny.
If you ever have the chance to attend I highly recommend you do so, because you will have the chance to meet some truly friendly and, quirky LEGO fans from around the world who really make the event what it is, fun.
Builder The Deathly Halliwell is inviting those attending Brickworld Chicago to join him and Brick Works Industries in contributing to their Warhammer 40k layout. And if these MOCs here are any indication, it's going to be pretty epic. If you're interested contact Tyler and get building!
If you're in the Los Angeles area and want to see some awesome MOCs, meet some excellent people and maybe, just maybe score some BrickNerd swag (hunt me down like an animal) then get to Bricks LA in Pasadena!
Brickworld 2015 is now well underway in Chicago. The first two and half days are dedicated to the setup of displays, competitions, expert panels, and other various sessions. If you live in the mid-west (or anywhere in the world really!) you should at least make a point to attend once in your lifetime. Besides the all-access only days there are also two public days Saturday 10AM - 4PM and Sunday 10AM - 3PM. Also, if you can track me down during the public hours I will award you with a BrickNerd sticker or brick (hint, I am with WisLUG)
Here are just a few of the many many things that you will see at Brickworld:
