Which BrickFair is over Labor Day weekend&#8230; The events will be about 6 driving hours apart &#8212; I should know, I&#8217;ve driven it a few times &#8212; so if you live in the north-east United States, you might be able to attend both events, time and money permitting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to bad mouth Dan. I admire his gumption, but I think his energy can be better channeled. I can understand his &#8220;bigger picture&#8221; view &#8212; to promote his museum &#8212; but I think he&#8217;s putting the cart before the horse in this case. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be going to BrickShow, but I wish him well with his venture.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=brickbuildr\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So BrickShow 2008 has been announced.
