Brick Fiesta reminders, deadlines, & updates

[Customer Support]

There is less than 1 month until the start of Brick Fiesta!

Your co-chairs and many helpers are working like crazy to get everything ready, it should be another fantastic convention!

 

Reminders & important deadlines

• Hopefully everyone who plans to attend as an All-Access member has already registered. 
  
• The final order of t-shirts will be placed on JUNE 15. All Access memberships purchased after that date will not get a Brick Fiesta T-shirt.
• June 30 is the last day to buy All Access and Companion memberships at the current price, prices increase to $70 All Access and $30 Companion on July 1.
• Be a pal and share this information with anyone you know who you think may be planning to attend.
• Our hotel block is almost full, don’t wait to book your rooms, the Brick Fiesta rate is less than ½ of the regular room rate.  Once we have filled our block there is no guarantee that we will be able to get more rooms at that rate.
  

Load-In Information

• The loading area & parking garage has an unusually low overhead clearance of 6’6”.
  
• There is a loading dock for larger trucks, let us know if you will need to use it and we will get you that information.
• We are trying to make arrangements for alternate parking for oversize vehicles, please let us know ASAP if you are bringing a trailer that won’t fit in the garage as well as approximately when you plan to arrive so we can make arrangements for you. (Day & ballpark time of day)
• Load-in information including times & maps will be posted soon.
  

MOCS 

• Thank you to everyone who has registered MOCs.  We have a great number and variety of registered MOCs, space is filling up! 
  
•  If you plan to register a large MOC, please do so by the end of the weekend (June 12) so we can plan for it.  It’s fairly easy to find space for smaller MOCs at the last minute, but not so for large ones.
  
• If you have registered a large MOC and realize that you won’t be using all the space you originally planned for, please let us know so we can re-allocate that space
