Number Two Son, who enjoys building with LEGO bricks, asked to attend BrickFair 2010 in Washington, DC. How could we possibly pass that up as it combines LEGO with one of my favorite cities in the US? This past weekend, we made the trek to DC; to see some sights and to attend BrickFair.

It was simply one of the most amazing displays of LEGO I have ever seen. It wasn't just the LEGO buildings, military vehicles, trains, castles, and much, much more, that amazed me, it was the accessibility of the people who created them. They were among the friendliest people I have met; very approachable, willing to give of their building knowledge, would answer any question. There was so much to see, it was rather overwhelming (just take a look through my photos). However, for me, two people stood out. First, there is JustJon, who created a Chaotic Computer; a working computer using LEGO bricks for the case. It has all of the features you would expect of a PC, including a small video screen. In this photo, it is in the back, the blue "cube" with the dark screen.

What first attracted me to his display was his Foursquare badge:
Jon and I had a great conversation concerning both the badge and the Chaotic Computer.
Whilst I enjoyed all of the displays, I found that I really liked the architectural LEGO displays. Among the best were the ones created by Arthur Gugick. Here is his LEGO version of Rialto Bridge:
We are planning on attending BrickFair 2011, as this was an incredible experience. Also, I think that I will ask Number Two Son for some LEGO bricks, I feel the need to build something.
