There's only about two weeks left in the Next Level Nerdly contest on Flickr, and part of the first place prize package is now chillin' at BrickNerd Studios thanks to Flat Bonnie. This is one of only three in the world, hand made and individually numbered (this one is 02). He's super squishy and awesome.
All you need to do is take Nerdly to the next level and upload a picture to the official Flickr group. Not attending Brick Magic? No problem, you can still enter. But if you are coming, please bring your Nerdly to show off. And right now the odds are incredibly good since there's not a single entry yet (meh). But I know taking it to the next level takes time, and I've heard some really cool ideas, so I'm looking forward to what you build. So break out the bricks and I'll see you at Brick Magic!
Is it just me or is this year FLYING by? Seems like just yesterday Brick Magic was inviting me as a special guest (yeah, me, go figure) and the convention was months away. Now I have a flight booked and I'm starting to gather stuff for it. Before I know it I'll be in North Carolina, will you be there too?
I'll have some fun swag, you know you want it.
Mark your calendars because Brick Magic is back this year on May 9-10th. Celebrate Mother's Day in LEGO style and come see some amazing MOCs and me! Yes, for some strange reason TwoMorrows and BrickJournal thought I would be a good special guest and have invited me to attend. So make plans to get to Concord NC this May and I'll see you there!
