Man, this looks awesome. Makes me wish I had a convention around my area, even if it was just a small one. Quite a nice haul of parts too.
In short, I’m jelly. XP

Is that Slime and Meso?

Yes it is. Meso’s is pretty old. Old enough for this to be his second Brickfête (not sure if he’s gonna be able to make it next year though). As for @Political_Slime’s MOC, I’ll try to upload decent pics of him once I come up with a more accurate head design.
How about making a road trip? Alternatively, there’s probably a LUG near you, which is the next best to conventions once you turn 18.

I don’t know who that orange dude is, but he’s awesome.
Man, when I turn 18, I’m hitting the road for Brickfete. See you in 4 years @legomaster1378
And goodness, that’s going to be some drive. I may have to fly, but that will largely limit what I can take there and bring home.

You mean this orange dude?
Ha, that’d be epic!
Yeah, several people fly from coast to coast (or the equivalent) to get to cons. It might actually be more cost-effective then driving.

That looks like such a fun event, really makes me wish there was some LEGO convention near my area.

That thing is absolutely massive. I have no room to display it, so it’ll be going into storage until next year when I can bring it BF for the BIONICLE table. I’ll give to Black Six since he makes it to lots more cons then I do (I’m keeping the badge though 
).

Looks like a whole bunch of fun… now back to the terrible Australian conventions

I believe Brickfête was in part founded by Australian AFOLs. Are there really no good conventions in your area?

No there really isn’t. I have been doing conventions a long time (dad was in the 501st) and honestly the best so far was RTX. I mean i suppose i have nothing to compare it to because ive never been outside the country from what I’ve experienced i think they are indeed bad.

In terms of Lego cons, there is the Sydney Brickshow each year, but compared to what I’ve seen of the CanadiAmerican cons it really isn’t that great.
I also think Canberra has a similar thing, but I’ve never been so I can’t really comment…

Sorry to hear that. 
But your dad was in the 501st? That’s awesome!
The Sidney Brickshow seems to be about the same size as Brickfête. BF certainly isn’t one of the biggest cons in North America, but that’s actually a good thing. The smaller amount of attendees results in a friendlier, warmer experience.
