Do you have a LEGO related bucket list? If so, what is on it? Today we explore the BrickSlopes AFOL convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, and hear from some attendees as to what’s on their bucket lists!
Read MoreContributor Lorren Loveless takes us to BrickSlopes 2022 in Utah. Read all about the LEGO convention, including their million-brick play area for kids and AFOLs, today on BrickNerd!
Read MoreThere are AFOLs in all walks of life, but it makes me especially giddy when one is from the entertainment industry. Builder breakbricks72 happens to be an Emmy winner and producer/director in the animation business, so it comes as no surprise that the animation in this adorable brickfilm is nothing less than outstanding.
BrickSlopes is only three weeks away, I hope you have your travel plans all buttoned up. There's going to be amazing MOCs on display, games to play and friends to make. All that and for some reason they want me to make the keynote (I really should finish that). I haven't been to Utah in almost 20 years so I'm looking forward to being back and I hope I'll see you there!
BrickSlopes is a LEGO fan event in Orem Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City. For some reason they invited me to be the keynote speaker this year (really? Me? What were those guys thinking?). So mark your calendars, make your travel plans and I'll see you at BrickSlopes in June!
