Missed Opportunities
Why didn't someone tell me about Brickfest? Maybe because you don't know what it is. I didn't either until I heard a brief mention of it on NPR this morning. A quick search revealed that
BrickFest is a yearly gathering of AFOL (Adult Fans of Lego™) from around the world.
And it just happened this past weekend at George Mason University in Arlington. Aside from a few fun hours many years ago spent wandering among the fantastic creations at Legoland in Billund, Denmark, I haven't been a very active or dedicated AFOL, and now I've missed a perfect chance to make up for my infidelity.
*sigh* I miss all the good stuff. (Come on, you know you loved your legos (or "lego bricks," as their maker wants us to call them) when you were a kid. Didn't everyone spend hours—nay, days!—building fantastic futures out of little plastic bricks?)

Yes...yes I did have legos, and I did spend hours making houses, whining that I didn't have enough little blocks or windows, and that when I got older I would have a giant set of legos. I'm older, and what did I spend the money on? Law school. At least the legos would have given me more enjoyment.
